Multiplying out the terms gives:

6 + 8i - 2x + 2yi = x + yi

Separating the real and imaginary parts of that equation gives the following two equations:

6 - 2x = x
8i + 2yi = yi

Solving the first for x gives:

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

Solving the second for y gives:

8i + 2yi = yi

8i = yi - 2yi

-yi = 8i

y = -8

Solution: x = 2, y = -8
