$x = 5, y = 7$

$x^2+y^2-4x-4y=26$
$x^2+y^2-4x=54$
$y=3x-8$

Subtracting the first from the second we get

Solving

${(4 y = 28), (y = 3 x - 8):}$

we obtain

$x = 5, y = 7$

Substituting those results in the first

$25+49-20-28=26$

Substituting now in the second

$25+49-20 = 54$

so the system has the solution $x = 5, y = 7$
