Steps to solving:

1) Rearrange!

5+(-8)+(-5i)+(-6i)-(2+3i)

2) Distribute!

5+(-8)+(-5i)+(-6i)+2+(-3i)

3) Rearrange again!

5+2+(-8)+(-3i)+(-5i)+(-6i)

4) Simplify! [Let's do "i" first]

-3i+(-5i)+(-6i)= -14i

5+2+(-8)+(-14i)

5) Simplify! [Now do the constants]

5+2= 7+(-8)= -1

6) Refine!

-14i+(-1)
