First , bust it up into its real and imaginary components:

2i=yi-3xi   and   x = y       since x = y, sub this into the first equation

2i =xi-3xi

2i = -2xi

x = -1       so   since x=y     y = -1

x+2iy=iyi3x(3i+1)x+2i=y(1+i)y=(3i+1)x+2i1+iy=(2+4i)x+(2+2i)2=(1+2i)x+(1+i)

 

Now if both x and y are real you can apply EP's answer.
