| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{7+i}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 7-i\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{7+i}\right) \cdot \left( 7-i\right) = 49 -\cancel{7i}+ \cancel{7i}-i^2 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 49 \, \color{blue}{ -\cancel{7i}} \,+ \, \color{blue}{ \cancel{7i}} \,-i^2 = -i^2+49 $$ |
