Hi,
it is nice, that we should make *your* home work for you!
Can you give us the e-mail of your teacher ? I would
like to inform him about that.
Solve[{409 - 166x + 17x^2 - 218y + 92x y - 10x^2 y + 34y^2 - 16x y^2 +
2x^2 y^2 == 0, 23 - 5x - 8y + 2 == 0}, {x, y}] // FullSimplify
{{x -> 5/2 + (7*I)/10 - Sqrt[104 - (255*I)/2]/5,
y -> 25/16 - (7*I)/16 + Sqrt[104 - (255*I)/2]/8},
{x -> 5/2 + (7*I)/10 + Sqrt[104 - (255*I)/2]/5,
y -> 25/16 - (7*I)/16 - Sqrt[104 - (255*I)/2]/8},
{x -> 5/2 - (7*I)/10 - Sqrt[104 + (255*I)/2]/5,
y -> 25/16 + (7*I)/16 + Sqrt[104 + (255*I)/2]/8},
{x -> 5/2 - (7*I)/10 + Sqrt[104 + (255*I)/2]/5,
y -> 25/16 + (7*I)/16 - Sqrt[104 + (255*I)/2]/8}}
