Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

Considering the expression


9i+2\left(7+3i\right)

  • Applying the distributive law


a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac

so the expression becomes


=9i+2\cdot \:\:\:7+2\cdot \:\:\:3i

Group like terms


=9i+14+6i

Add similar elements: 9i+6i=15i


=15i+14
