    x=56, y=52.7358

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x + y = 106

    x = 106 - y

    x^2 - y^2 = 56

    (106 - y) ^2 - y^2 = 56

    11236 - 212y + y^2 - y^2 = 56

    11236 - 212y = 56

    212y = 11236 - 56

    212y = 11180

    y = 52.7358

    x = 106 - y = 106 - 52.7358 = 53.2642

    (53.2642) ^2 - (52.7358) ^2 = 2837.08 - 2781.08 = 56
