4j-8=-x-yj X=?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

assumng "j" represents imaginary numbers, you need to equate the real and imaginary parts here

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

so the imaginary part of the number on the left is "4", and on the right it is "-y" which would imply: -y = 4 y = 4 use the same technique to find "x"

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
