Let x = the number we are looking for:

Difference means that we subtract:

$x-(-3)=6$

Two negative signs turn it into one positive sign (a plus):

$x+3=6$

We need to get x by itself, so we subtract 3 from both sides:

$x=3$

So now we know that the number we were asked to find is 3.

2+6i/2-4i = a + bi What is the value of a? What is the value of b?

Talja [164]

$\dfrac{2+6i}{2-4i}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2(1+3i)}{2(1-2i)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1+3i}{1-2i}\\\\\\=\dfrac{(1+3i)(1+2i)}{(1-2i)(1+2i)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1+2i+3i+6i^2}{1-(2i)^2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1+5i-6}{1+4}~~~~;[i^2=-1]\\\\\\=\dfrac{5i-5}{5}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5(i-1)}5\\\\=i-1\\\\=-1+i\\\\\text{It is in a form of a +bi so,}~ a = -1~ \text{and}~ b = 1$
