Add (3 - 5i) + (-2 + 8i). sum of real parts: sum of imaginary parts: i

The correct answer is 1 + 3i.

In order to get the answer to this, only add like terms. Add first the constants in the front.

3 + -2 = 1

Now add the imaginary terms

-5i + 8i = 3i

Then you can put the two together as a term and write as 1 + 3i.

Step-bAdd (3 - 5i) + (-2 + 8i).

Sum of real parts:  

1 + 3i.

⇒ 1

Sum of imaginary parts:  

⇒ 3i
