Answer:
x + y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, (x + iy)(1 - 3i) = 10, then we have to calculate x + y.
Now, (x + iy)(1 - 3i) = 10
⇒ x(1 - 3i) + iy(1 - 3i) = 10
⇒ x - 3xi + iy - 3yi² = 10
⇒ (x + 3y) + i(y - 3x) = 10
Now, comparing the real and imaginary part of both sides we get,
(x + 3y) = 10 ............. (1) and
y - 3x = 0
⇒ y = 3x ............... (2)
Solving equations (1) and (2) we get
x + 3(3x) = 10
⇒ x = 1
So, y = 3x = 3
Therefore, x + y = 1 + 3 = 4 (Answer)
