| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{1+8i}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( -3-2i\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{1+8i}\right) \cdot \left( -3-2i\right) = -3-2i-24i-16i^2 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ -3 \color{blue}{-2i} \color{blue}{-24i} -16i^2 = -16i^2 \color{blue}{-26i} -3 $$ |
