(x - 2)^2 + (y - 7)^2  = 25       (1)

 x + y =  13  →  y = 13  - x     (2)

 

Sub (2)  into (1)

 

(x  -2)^2  + ( 13-x -7)^2 =  25

(x-2)^2  + ( 6 -x)^2 = 25

x^2 - 4x + 4 + x^2 -12x + 36 = 25

2x^2  -16x + 40 = 25

2x^2 - 16x + 15  =   0

 

x = [ 16 + sqrt [ 16^2 - 4*2 * 15 ] ] /  4            and    x = 4 - sqrt (136)  /4        

x = [16 + sqrt [ 136] ] / 4 = 4 + sqrt (136)/4              y = 9 + sqrt (136)/4

y = 13 - x =   9 - sqrt (136)/4

 

(x , y)  =  ( 4 + sqrt (136) / 4 , 9 -sqrt (136)/4)   and  ( 4 -sqrt (136)/4 , 9 + sqrt (136) / 4)
