X=1 and Y=36 X=36 and Y=1 Also satisfy the equation

no it doesn't satisfy them..it won't satisfy the second equation
Even i did it by the same method. And yes , @Parth Lohomi "This is very easy" !!!!!
@Parth Lohomi ,Oui, Ceci est trop Facile. C'est un Question tres Bien. (y)

Oui Oui !!!!! @Mehul Arora Tu parles francais ?????
1,16,4 and 9 are the possible values of x, so 30 should be the answer.
By substituting y = x − 5 in the second equation and then simplifying, you eventually get X 2 − 5 X + 6 = 0 (where X = x ). Then it's trivial to solve for X and thereby arrive at the answer.
By inspection, two solution sets Sqrt(x)=2 and Sqrt(y)=3 as well as Sqrt(x)=3 and Sqrt(y)=2 satisfy both equations, hence x=2^2 and 3^2 or 4 and 9, sum is 13.

From x + y = 5 ⇒ y = 5 − x .
⇒ 6 ( x 1 + y 1 ) = 5 ⇒ 6 ( x y x + y ) = 5 ⇒ 6 ( x y 5 ) = 5 ⇒ x y = 6
This means that x and y are roots of:
z 2 − 5 z + 6 = 0 ⇒ ( z − 2 ) ( z − 3 ) = 0 ⇒ { z = 2 z = 3 ⇒ x = 4 ⇒ x = 9
Therefore, the sum of all possible values of x is = 4 + 9 = 1 3 .
