So first you want to do the multiplication.

(3-4i)*(1+5i)

So what you want to do is multiply everything inside the parenthesis by everything inside the other parenthesis.

Or,

3 * 1 + 3 * 5i + -4i * 1 + (-4i) * 5i

Or,

3 + 15i + -4i - 20i

Then,

3 + -9i

3 - 9i - (2 - i)

Open the parenthesis, and since it has a minus before it reverse the operator inside of the parenthesis.

3 - 9i - 2 + i

Or,

1 - 8i
