This is indeed a messy problem. I'll solve for both variables, I guess.

 

1. Solve for a Variable

 

In this case, I will solve for x in the first equation, x2+y2=100

 

x2+y2=100 The first step is to square both sides so that we eliminate the square root symbol.
x2+y2=10000 Subtract y2 from both sides.
x2=10000y2 Take the square root from both sides to isolate x.
x=10000y2  
   

 

2. Use Substitution to eliminate the x and solve for y

 

Plug in 10000y2 for x into the 2nd equation and solve for y. This is not going to look good...

 

(x+4800937)2+(y+3800937)2=299.289496902 Plug in the value for x.
(10000y2+4800937)2+(y+3800937)2=299.289496902 Square both sides to eliminate the square root.
(10000y2+4800937)2+(y+3800937)2=299.2894969022 In both binomials, we must follow the rule that (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2. I'll do the first binomial first, in blue.
(10000y2+4800937)2=(10000y2)2+210000y24800937+(4800937)2 Simplify this. Here we go...
10000y2+960010000y2937+23040000937 Now, let's remember that this equals the bit in blue. Now, let's expand the other part, in normal text.This time, I'll expand it without showing much.
   

 

(y+3800937)2 Expand this using the same technique as above.
y2+(2y3800937)+(3800937)2 Simplify further.
y2+7600y937+14440000937  
   

 

Time to do the simplification process. 

 

10000y2+960010000y2937+23040000937+y2+7600y937+14440000937 To make this easier to digest, I will rearrange the terms.
y2y2+960010000y2937+7600y937+10000+23040000937+14440000937 Now, let's do the simplification process.
960010000y2+7600y937+50000 Great! Now that we have simplified as much as possible, let's reinsert this into the equation.
   

 

960010000y2+7600y937+50000=299.2894969022 We have to get rid of the remaining fraction by multiplying by the square root of 937 on all sides.
960010000y2+7600y+50000937=299.2894969022937 Subtract 7600y+50000937
960010000y2=229.28949690229377600y50000937) Doing some more simplifying...
   

 

 

You know what...

 

This is really boring and tedious...

 

There are 2 ordered pair solutions to this. They are the following:

 

x68.53740254003346,y72.81912147963209

 

x86.60254037943613,y49.99999999828134
