y= x^2 - 6x + 5
y= x - 1
---------------------------------------------
Substitute y from the second equation into the first one. You will get

x-1 = x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+5,   or

x%5E2+-7x+%2B+6 = 0.

The roots are x = 6 and x = 1.

It means that the pairs (x,y) = (6,5) and (x,y) = (1,0) are the solutions of your original system.
