By using the Set (=) sign you are trying to set the value of (x^3y + xy - 10) to zero. Mathematica sees this as an attempt to change the rules for addition, and protests consequently. You should use the Equal sign (==) in equations. Do not forget to put multiplication signs or spaces in relevant places, where multiplication is intended! Is this what you mean? NSolve[{x^3*y + x*y - 10 == 0, x*y^2 - x*y + 6 == 0}, {x, y}] Good luck!
