Question

What is the value of (-7 + 3i) - (2-6i)?

Answer 1

First you must distribute the minus sign to the number bolded bellow:

(-7 + 3i) - (2 - 6i)

(-7 + 3i) + (-2 + 6i)

-7 + 3i - 2 + 6i

Now you must combine like terms. Imaginary numbers can only combine with imaginary and real number can only be combined with real numbers:

(-7 + (-2) ) + (3i + 6i)

-9 + 9i

I hope this helped! Let me know if you have any questions :)
