Answer 1

15+2i

Explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following expression:

(7-4i) + (8+6i)

And we want to write it as a complex number in standard form

Standard form is a+bi, where a is the real part of the number and bi is the imaginary part of the number.

We can open up the parentheses on the expression

7-4i+8+6i

Now combine the like terms (add 8 and 7 together, then add -4i and 6i together)

15+2i

The complex number is now in standard form

Hope this helps!
