Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by rewriting the second equation in terms of "x":

x+y=5

Subtract y from both sides:

x=5-y

Now, substitute "5-y" for "x" in the first equation:

(5-y)^2-y^2=100

Note that:

(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

25-10y+y^2-y^2=100

Cancel out like terms:

25-10y=100

Subtract 25 from both sides:

-10y=75

Divide both sides by -10

$y=\frac{75}{-10}=\frac{15}{-2}=-\frac{15}{2}$

Now, substitute this value back into either of the equations to solve for x.

$x+y=5\\x-\frac{15}{2}=5\\$

Add 15/2 to both sides:

$x=5+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{10}{2}+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{25}{2}$

Now, find the difference:

$x-y=\frac{25}{2}-(-\frac{15}{2})=\frac{25}{2}+\frac{15}{2}=\frac{40}{2}=20$
