This system looks much more complicated than it really is. Try substitutions like system%28r=log%282%2CX%29%2Cp=log%282%2CY%29%29 and then first solve the system system%28r%2Bp=2%2Cr%2Bp=0%29, but you should understand that this is a bad system! The same expression equated to two different values! Not good.
