Answer:

The answer is 30+7i.

Explanation:

Imaginary Number Definition


\large\boxed{{i=√(-1)}}

Simply evaluate like how you evaluate polynomials. Expand the expression in.


\large{(8-3i)(3+2i)=[(8*3)+(8*2i)]+[(-3i*3)+(-3i*2i)]}\\\large{(8-3i)(3+2i)=(24+16i)+(-9i-6i^2)

Therefore, our new expression when cancelling out the brackets is:


\large\boxed{24+16i-9i-6i^2}

Imaginary Number Definition II


\large\boxed{i^2=-1}

Therefore, substitute or change i² to -1


\large{24+16i-9i-6(-1)}\\\large{24+7i+6}\\\large{30+7i}

Complex Number Definition


\large\boxed{a+bi}

Where a = Real Part and bi = Imaginary Part.

Therefore, it's the best to arrange in the form of a+bi.

Hence, the answer is 30+7i.
