$z^2overlinez^3=32$
I have bought about the following way:
to simplify it by $z^2overlinez^3=z^2overlinez^2overlinez=(zoverlinez)^2overlinez=|z|^4overlinez$
to replace $z$ or by $z=x+iy$ or $z=re^itheta$ which should I choose? I have tried both with no success

Yes we have that
$$z^2overlinez^3=z^2overlinez^2overlinez=(zoverlinez)^2overlinez=|z|^4overlinez=32$$
but then $bar z=x$ must be real and since $x^5=32 implies x=2$ the only solution is $z=2$.

@gimusi Why did $overlinez$ have to be real? did you conclude it from the powers $|z|^4overlinez=2^5$?

If you use $z=re^itheta$ with $r in mathbb R_ge 0$ and $theta in mathbb R$
then $z^2overlinez^3=32$ gives you $r^5 e^-itheta=32e^i2npi$ for integer $n$
so matching coefficients gives $r=2$ and $theta = -2npi$
and thus solutions are of the form $z=2e^-i2npi$ and the only one is $z=2$

Quite often it useful to see what can you say about an absolute value of a complex number and this is such a problem.
$$z^2overlinez^3=32implies |z^2overlinez^3|=32implies |z|^5 = 32implies |z|=2$$
so $$z^2overlinez^3=32implies |z|^4overlinez=32implies overlinez=2implies z=2$$

I like using
$z = re^itheta; tag 1$
we have
$bar z = r e^-itheta; tag 2$
we are given that
$z^2 bar z^3 = 32; tag 3$
using (1) and (2) yields
$r^5 e^-itheta = r^2 e^2i theta r^3 e^-3i theta = z^2 bar z^3 = 32, tag 4$
whence
$r^5 = vert r vert^5 = vert r^5 e^-itheta vert = vert 32 vert = 32; tag 5$
it follows that
$r = 2; tag 6$
therefore, by (4),
$32 e^-itheta = 32 Longrightarrow e^-itheta = 1 Longrightarrow e^itheta = 1; tag 7$
therefore (1) becomes
$z = 2. tag 8$

We have
$$
z^2bar z^3 = left(zbar zright)^2bar z = |z|^4bar z = 32Rightarrow bar z = alpha + 0(-j) = alpha = z
$$
hence
$$
alpha^5 = 32Rightarrow alpha = 2 = z
$$

whence
$r^5 = vert r vert^5 = vert r^5 e^-itheta vert = vert 32 vert = 32; tag 5$
it follows that
$r = 2; tag 6$
therefore, by (4),
$32 e^-itheta = 32 Longrightarrow e^-itheta = 1 Longrightarrow e^itheta = 1; tag 7$
therefore (1) becomes
$z = 2. tag 8$
