47 -14i
You can work this out in the straight-forward way, or you can recognize that (6-i) is a common factor. In the latter case, you have ...
... = (6-i)(5 + 3-i)
... = (6 -i)(8 -i)
This product of binomials is found in the usual way. Each term of one factor is multiplied by each term of the other factor and the results summed. Of course, i = √-1, so i² = -1.
... = 6·8 -6i -8i +i²
... = 48 -14i -1
... =

A suitable graphing calculator will work these complex number problems easily.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets translate this word problem into math.
"Latoya's annual salary is $26,000" = We start with the number 26,000
"A total of $7352.24 will be deducted for taxes and health insurance" = It's the number we started with "deducted" (minus) 7352.24
"She will receive her paycheck monthly in 12 equal installments" = Our number will be divided by 12
"How much will she get paid with each paycheck?" = "Find answer pls thx"
To put it all together...
Now all we have to do is solve!
