Question

Find the real numbers x and y.
22 + yi = 20 - X+3i.
x=
y=

Answer 1

x = - 2, y = 3

Explanation:

Given

22 + yi = 20 - x + 3i

Compare the coefficients of like terms on both sides, that is

22 = 20 - x ( subtract 20 from both sides )

2 = - x ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 2

And

yi = 3i , hence y = 3
