i am here

satellite73 · Answer

$$(3-8i)-(6+2i)=3-8i-6-2i=-3-10i$$

zarkam21 · Answer

Hi =)

zarkam21 · Answer

OKay so would that be for step 1?

satellite73 · Answer

distribute the minus sign

satellite73 · Answer

it would be the same fo r$$(3-8x)-(6+2x)$$

satellite73 · Answer

just with an $i$ instead of an $x$
like combining like terms
remove the parentheses using the distributive property first, then combine like terms

zarkam21 · Answer

Okay so would all of this be step 1?

satellite73 · Answer

$$(3-8i)-(6+2i)$$ step one, distribute the minus sign $$3-8i-6-2i$$

zarkam21 · Answer

Play and then step 2

zarkam21 · Answer

Okay**

satellite73 · Answer

maybe you can arrange the like terms next to each other, not sure if that is a step or not $$3-6-8i-2i$$

satellite73 · Answer

or just combine the like terms $$-3-10i$$

satellite73 · Answer

ok  now i see it says "rewrite as an addition problem" we can do that too

satellite73 · Answer

$$(3-8i)-(6+2i)=(3-8i)+(-6-2i)$$

satellite73 · Answer

it is silly, but you can write it like that
then second step is still to combine like terms, and you still get $$-3-10i$$

zarkam21 · Answer

Okay so step one is 
(3-8i)-(6+2i)=(3-8i)+(-6-2i)

zarkam21 · Answer

and then step two
-3-10i
