Hi,

you have to use Equal[] == and *not* Set[] =
and you have to collect the equations in a List
and

Solve[{((2 + 4\[ImaginaryI])*a) + ((1 + \[ImaginaryI])*b) == (118 + 
          24\[ImaginaryI]), ((1 + \[ImaginaryI])*a) + ((3 +
\[ImaginaryI])*
            b) == 110 + \[ImaginaryI] 0}, {a, b}]

work as expected.

Regards
  Jens
