Question

What is 2i-3=2(6-i)+7i as a fraction or decimal or whole number

Answer 1

i = - 5

Explanation:

Given

2i - 3 = 2(6 - i) + 7i ← distribute and simplify right side

2i - 3 = 12 - 2i + 7i

2i - 3 = 12 + 5i ( subtract 5i from both sides )

- 3i - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 3i = 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

i = - 5
