Method of Elimination

A technique used in algebra to solve systems of equations by canceling out one or more variables.

System of Equations

A set of equations with multiple variables, where the solution is the set of values that satisfies all equations simultaneously.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Adding the two equations eliminates the squared terms, resulting in 2y2=262y^2 = 262y2=26 , which simplifies to y2=13y^2 = 13y2=13 . Substituting y2=13y^2 = 13y2=13 into the second equation gives x2=5x^2 = 5x2=5 . Thus, the solutions are (5,13)(\sqrt{5}, \sqrt{13})(5,13) and its variations, considering both positive and negative square roots.
