Find the problem here; ( i do not have the solutions...i seek alternative ways of doing the problems)

ok, i let $z=x+iy$ and $z^*= x-iy$... i ended up with the simultaneous equation;
$2x+y=4$
$x+2y=-1$

$x=1$ and $y=2$

therefore our complex number is $z=1+2i$

How?

with the simultaneous equation;
$2x+y=4$
$x+2y=-1$

$x=1$ and $y=2$

$1+2\cdot 2 =5 \neq -1$

therefore our complex number is $z=1+2i$

How?

$1+2\cdot 2 =5 \neq -1$

let me check this...

Arrrgh
$x=3$ and $y=-2$ ...sign error on my simultaneous equation...i guess its best to solve this questions over the weekend...i rush on this due to other work...

How?

fresh from complex numbers we know that, if $w=a+in$ then $w^* =a-in$

I meant: How you ended up with these equations, not how conjugation is defined, i.e. show your steps.
