Answer:
B) 5 + 17i is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to write this equation as a complex number in standard form, you must first simplify each term.
<em>Apple the distributive property.</em>
21 - 4i - 1 * 16 - (7i) + 28i
<em>Multiply -1 by 16.</em>
21 - 4i -16 - (7i) + 28i
<em>Multiply 7 by -1.</em>
21 - 4i - 16 - 7i + 28i
<em>Now simplify by adding terms :)</em>
<em>Subtract 16 from 21.</em>
5 - 4i - 7i + 28i
<em>Subtract 7i from -4i.</em>
5 - 11i + 28i
<em>Add -11i and 28i.</em>
= 5 + 17i
