you will have to square that binomial and distribute the negative two into the (x-yi) and, in general, collect like terms.
Eventually you will have an equation with the left side in the form A + Bi = 2 -i.
Then A = 2 and B = -1 where A and B will be in terms of x and y. In other words, a system of two equations & two unknowns. Good luck.
