-2 - 3 = -5
The answer is negative 5.
It is B identity property of division. Because you are dividing by one and that is a part of what the identity property of division.
Since the sign before the parentheses is a + , we can just remove the parentheses.
<span>5i + (-9 - i) = 5i - 9 - i = -<u>9 + 4i</u></span>
If you were to factor you would do what my teacher likes to call reverse foil so it would look like this (x-9)(x+4) so what you do is you brainsrorm to see what multiplies what to get that and 9*4=36 so that is how you factor -36 to find the -9
Hope this helps if I'm correct if not I will try to find the answer
