Both equations are symmetric  that means if (a,b) satisfies the  equations (b,a) also does  In case x,y∈N  possible values for x are 1,2,3,4  first equation suggests that respective  values of y may be 4,3,2,1  So trying these values in second equation  1^4 +4^1 ≠17  2^3 +3^2 =8+9=17  Hence (2,3) & (3,2) are two solutions in N.

one of x or y ,is odd and another is even.  because sum of 2 odd number or 2   even number will be even and can not  be equail to 5. (odd number)  so: x=2n,y=2m+1⇒2(n+m)+1=5⇒  m+n=2⇒  m=n=1  ⇒x=2,y=3   or   x=3,y=2 .

$${one}\:{of}\:{x}\:{or}\:{y}\:,{is}\:{odd}\:{and}\:{another}\:{is}\:{even}. \\ $$$${because}\:{sum}\:{of}\:\mathrm{2}\:{odd}\:{number}\:{or}\:\mathrm{2}\: \\ $$$${even}\:{number}\:{will}\:{be}\:{even}\:{and}\:{can}\:{not} \\ $$$${be}\:{equail}\:{to}\:\mathrm{5}.\:\left({odd}\:{number}\right) \\ $$$${so}:\:{x}=\mathrm{2}{n},{y}=\mathrm{2}{m}+\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}\left({n}+{m}\right)+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{5}\Rightarrow \\ $$$${m}+{n}=\mathrm{2}\Rightarrow\:\:{m}={n}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{2},{y}=\mathrm{3}\:\:\:{or}\:\:\:{x}=\mathrm{3},{y}=\mathrm{2}\:. \\ $$
