The point (5,3) means x = 5 and y = 3 pair up together.

Replace x and y with 5 and 3 in that order for each equation.

We'll start with the first equation
x^2-3y = 34
5^2-3(3) = 34
25-9 = 34
16 = 34
We get a false statement at the end, so the given point is not a solution to the system.
Both equations must be true at the same time in order to get a solution.

For the sake of completeness, I'll show the other equation as well
2x+y = 7
2(5)+3 = 7
10+3 = 7
13 = 7
This is false as well. Even if it was true, the first equation being false is sufficient to conclude that the point isn't a solution.

Answer: No, it's not a solution.
