Need help with algebra equation

OpenStudy (sam_ovo):

\[(3-7i)+(2+\sqrt{3}i)\]

satellite73 (satellite73):

like saying "combine like terms \[3-7x+2+\sqrt3x\]

satellite73 (satellite73):

first off, \(3+2=?\)

OpenStudy (sam_ovo):

5

satellite73 (satellite73):

ok

satellite73 (satellite73):

and \[-7+\sqrt3\] cannot be combined, just leave it

satellite73 (satellite73):

put them in parentheses maybe to finish with \[5+(-7+\sqrt3)i\] kind of ugly, but probably the best you can do

OpenStudy (sam_ovo):

okay! thank you so much!!!
