OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two complex numbers are equal if there real parts and imaginary parts are equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug in -4 for x and 3 for y. tell me what you get on each side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7=-7 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They aren't like terms. You don't add them together..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please try again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it was the i=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4+3i = -4+3i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your question isn't asking for i. asking for x and y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do they equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes? theyre the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good. That means. your answer is: y = 3 x = -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):
