To solve the exercise you can apply the complex arithmetic rule, that is


(a+bi)/(c+di)=((c-di)(a+bi))/((c-di)(c+di))=((ac+bd)+(bc-ad)i)/(c^2+d^2)

So, in this case, you have


\begin{gathered} (6-i)/(4+3i) \\ a=6 \\ b=-1 \\ c=4 \\ d=3 \end{gathered}
(6-i)/(4+3i)=((6\cdot4+(-1)\cdot3)+(-1\cdot4-6\cdot3)i)/(4^2+3^2)

Simplifying


\begin{gathered} (6-i)/(4+3i)=((24-3)+(-4-18)i)/(16+9) \\ (6-i)/(4+3i)=(21-22i)/(16+9) \\ (6-i)/(4+3i)=(21-22i)/(25) \end{gathered}

Finally, rewrite in binomic form, that is, z = a+bi


(21-22i)/(25)=(21)/(25)-(22i)/(25)

Therefore, the correct answer is B.


(21)/(25)-(22i)/(25)
