Question

Write -2i + (9 − 3i) − (6 − 10i) as a complex number in standard form.

Answer 1

5i+3

Explanation:

Given the expression

-2i + (9 − 3i) − (6 − 10i)

Where i² = -1 (complex number rule)

Therefore,

-2i + 9-3i-6+10i

Collecting like terms gives

5i+3

Answer 2

-2i + (9 − 3i) − (6 − 10i)
-2i - 3i + 10i + 9 - 6
5i + 3
3 + 5i
