If your notation means what it is as shown, then the first equation is , for the base b, used for both equations. Treat the entire as one of the variables.

The system can be restated:
---------------

-

---------------

Subtract one equation from the other equation to eliminate y, and solve first for ; use this to solve for y. You could then continue on to find what x is.
