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.

$2-61+10-4i$

$-10 \times -1 = 10$ 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.

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

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