Complete question.

Simplify the expression to a + bi form:

(-2 - 6i)-(-2-4i)

Square root of any negative number are expressed as a complex number. For example i = √-1

Complex numbers are generally written in the format z = x+iy

Given the expression (-2 - 6i)-(-2-4i)), in expansion:

(-2 - 6i)-(-2-4i)

= -2 - 6i + 2+4i

Collect the like terms

= (-2 + 2) - 6i + 4i

= 0 - 2i

Therefore the expression (-2 - 6i)-(-2-4i) to a + bi form is 0 - 2i.
