\[\frac{ 50-15i+20 }{ 100+25 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what I got when I multiplied the numerator and denominator by 10+5i

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Then simplify that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 5(10-3i+4) }{ 25 }\]...I think I did this wrong...

OpenStudy (primeralph):

You're fine. You can just add the real numbers normally.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Yes you did it wrong. The denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what I did wrong on the denominator, One second let me show you my work...
