(x−y)(x+y)=2×50=10×10  x−y=2 & x+y=50⇒x=26 & y=24  x−y=10 & x+y=10⇒x=10 & y=0
$$\left({x}−{y}\right)\left({x}+{y}\right)=\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{50}=\mathrm{10}×\mathrm{10} \\ $$$${x}−{y}=\mathrm{2}\:\&\:{x}+{y}=\mathrm{50}\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{26}\:\&\:{y}=\mathrm{24} \\ $$$${x}−{y}=\mathrm{10}\:\&\:{x}+{y}=\mathrm{10}\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{10}\:\&\:{y}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

You considered only successful cases.  Thanks anyway!
