When performing addition and multiplication with constant numbers, we treat i as we would treat any variable x in an expression, with the same rules and properties of addition and multiplication.

1)


( 7 + 5i) - ( -9 + i)=7+5i+9-i=(7+9)+(5i-i)=16+4i

2)
Distribute 7+7i over 6 and 7i:


( 7 + 7i)( 6 + 7i)=( 7 + 7i)\cdot6+( 7 + 7i)\cdot7i=42+42i+49i+49i^2

collecting similar terms, and substituting
i^2 with -1 we have:

42+91i-49=-7+91 i

3)

The conjugate of a complex number a+bi is a-bi;
the conjugate of 1+3i is 1-3i.

Thus, using the difference of squares formula we have


(1+3i)(1-3i)=1^2-(3i)^2=1-9i^2=1-9(-1)=1+9=10

4)

To write a rational expression ( with a complex number in the denominator) in the standard form, we multiply by the conjugate of the denominator both the numerator and the denominator:


\displaystyle{ (3)/(3-12i)= (3(3+12i))/((3-12i)(3+12i))= (9+36i)/(3^2-(12i)^2)


=\displaystyle{ (9+36i)/(9+144)= (9+36i)/(153)= (9)/(153)+ (36)/(153)i


simplifying by 9, the complex number is finally written as


\displaystyle{ (1)/(17)+ (4)/(17)i


5)

2 complex numbers a+bi, and c+di are equal only if a=c, and b=d. (Where a, b, c, d are real numbers.)

Thus, x=5, and y=3 is the solution to the equation.
