Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


\mleft(x+yi\mright)-(-8+11i)=5+9i

First, we isolate the expression containing x and y.


\mleft(x+yi\mright)=5+9i+(-8+11i)

Next, we collect like terms on the right hand side and simplify.


\begin{gathered} x+yi=5-8+9i+11i \\ x+yi=-3+20i \end{gathered}

Therefore:

x = -3

y = 20
