(a+6)+3bi=6-7i Find real numbers a and b such that the equation is true.

Answer 1

just compare real and imaginary parts:
so
a+6=6
a=?
3b=-7
b=?

Answer 2

No helping me yet, I am really lost on this problem. Each one builds on the last so I am not seeing the results

Answer 3

which part did u not understand ?

Answer 4

Im supposed to solve for a and for b, but I struggle with imaginary parts and seeing the big picture.

Answer 5

imaginary terms are the terms with i
so here we had
3bi=-7i
--> 3b=-7
can u find b now ?

Answer 6

a=0 and b=-2.33?

Answer 7

yup, u are correct :)
