It is easiest to check the offered answers. You can also solve this graphically, or by solving the simultaneous equations.
You can, for example, square the first equation and subtract the second:
... (x+y)² -(x²+y²) = 5² -25
... 2xy = 0
This will be true for x=0 or for y=0, so (0, 5) and (5, 0) are solutions to the pair of equations.
