Perform indicated operation and leave answer in the form a+bi. (7+2i)/(4-3i)

Basically, you have to rationalize the denominator which means to get rid of 'i' in the denominator. THat means that you have to multiply by the conjugate in the denominator. \[\frac{7 + 2i}{4 - 3i} \implies \frac{7 + 2i}{4 - 3i} \times \frac{4 + 3i}{4 + 3i} \implies~?\]
