Answer:

Yes the answer would be 14+4i

Explanation:

1. remove parentheses

7+4i+9+5i-(2+5i)

Simplify each term

Apply the distributive property.

7+4i+9+5i-2-(5i)

Multiply -1 by 2

7+4i+9+5i-2-(5i)

Multiply 5 by -1

7+4i+9+5i-2-5i

Simplify by adding terms.

Add 7 and 9.

16+4i+5i-5i

Subtract 2 from 16.

14+9i-5i

Add 4i and 5i.

14+9i-5i

Subtract 5i from 9i.

And boom your answer 14+4i ....:)))
