a valid statement, yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes your solvation is right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just like addition or subtraction of two like terms..

OpenStudy (phi):

you can treat i just like "x" (except that i*i simplifies to -1) so -3x + 2x= -x no mystery, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I just just thinking that.. \[i = \sqrt{-1}\] So, the answer would be -i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..
