① | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{7} + \color{blue}{9} +27i = 27i+ \color{blue}{16} $$ |
② | Multiply $ \color{blue}{2} $ by $ \left( 25-11i\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{2} \cdot \left( 25-11i\right) = 50-22i $$ |
③ | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 50-22i \right) = -50+22i $$ |
④ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{27i} + \color{red}{16} \color{red}{-50} + \color{blue}{22i} = \color{blue}{49i} \color{red}{-34} $$ |
