A student wrote the following on his math homework assignment:

1 answer:

3 0

Instead of using PEMDAS or the Order of Operations, the student went ahead and solved the equation as though it were written 6 * 12 - 8.

The correct way to solve would be to first solve the parentheses. 12 - 8 is equal to 4. 4 times 6 is 24, giving us an answer of 24.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Noting that i² = - 1

Given

(7 - 3i)(8 + 4i) ← expand factors using FOIL

= 56 + 28i - 24i - 12i²

= 56 + 4i - 12(- 1)

= 56 + 4i + 12

= 68 + 4i → A
