$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{25}{x}+{y} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} ={x}+\mathrm{25}{y} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{26}\left({x}+{y}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{24}\left({x}−{y}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({x}−{y}\right)\left[\left({x}+{y}\right)−\mathrm{24}\right]=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}+{y}\:=\:\mathrm{24}\: \\ $$$$\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}}\:=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{26}.\mathrm{24}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\left(\mathrm{25}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left(\mathrm{25}−\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\mathrm{25}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\mathrm{25} \\ $$

$$\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{24}\left({x}−{y}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({x}−{y}\right)\left({x}+{y}\right)−\mathrm{24}\left({x}−{y}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({x}−{y}\right)\left({x}+{y}−\mathrm{24}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${since}\:{x}\neq{y}\:{it}\:{follows}\:{that}\:{x}+{y}−\mathrm{24}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$
