Question

Simplify.
(2 - 61) - (-10 + 4i)

Answer 1

Hey there!

`Answer:\boxed{-49-4i}`

`Explanation:`

`(2 - 61) - (-10 + 4i)`

First, you need to open the parentheses. Notice how there is a subtraction sign before the second parentheses. You will need to multiply everything in the second parentheses by -1.

`2-61+10-4i`

`-10 * -1 = 10` because when two negative numbers are multiplied, the product will be positive.

Now you need to combine like-terms.

`2-61+10 \ | 4i\\2-61=-59 \text{ and} -59+10=-49`

You will be left with -49 and 4i. The last step is to add them.

`-49 \text{ and } 4i \rightarrow -49+4i\\-49-4i`

`\boxed{-49-4i}\text{ is your answer.}`

Hope this helps!
