1. **State the problem:**
We need to solve the simultaneous equations:
$$x^2 + y^2 = 89$$
$$y = x + 3$$
2. **Substitute the linear equation into the circle equation:**
Since $y = x + 3$, substitute $y$ in the circle equation:
$$x^2 + (x + 3)^2 = 89$$
3. **Expand and simplify:**
$$x^2 + (x^2 + 6x + 9) = 89$$
$$2x^2 + 6x + 9 = 89$$
4. **Bring all terms to one side:**
$$2x^2 + 6x + 9 - 89 = 0$$
$$2x^2 + 6x - 80 = 0$$
5. **Divide the entire equation by 2 to simplify:**
$$x^2 + 3x - 40 = 0$$
6. **Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:**
The quadratic formula is:
$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$
where $a=1$, $b=3$, and $c=-40$.
Calculate the discriminant:
$$\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = 3^2 - 4(1)(-40) = 9 + 160 = 169$$
Calculate the roots:
$$x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{169}}{2} = \frac{-3 \pm 13}{2}$$
7. **Find the two values of $x$:**
- For $x = \frac{-3 + 13}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$
- For $x = \frac{-3 - 13}{2} = \frac{-16}{2} = -8$
8. **Find corresponding $y$ values using $y = x + 3$:**
- When $x=5$, $y = 5 + 3 = 8$
- When $x=-8$, $y = -8 + 3 = -5$
**Final solutions:**
$$\boxed{(x,y) = (5,8) \text{ or } (-8,-5)}$$
