Question 1183891: I am stuck on this problem on my homework and i am not entirely sure where to even start
i sqrt(2)-2-(6-4i sqrt(2))-(5-i sqrt(2))

.

You should COLLECT (re-grpup) three imaginary terms   i*sqrt(2)   in one group

and three other terms of real numbers in other group, and then combine like terms in each group.

By doing so, you should carefully operate with the signs of these terms.

Your final answer should be complex number of the form   a + ib*sqrt(2),
where   " a "   and   " b "   are real numbers (coefficients).

Do you understand my instruction in full ?

Let me know, if my instructions were sufficient for you.

If you still have questions, do not hesitate to ask.
