Open parentheses (100i + 100) - (100i - 100). Combine real parts separately and imaginary parts separately (100i + 100) - (100i - 100) = (100 + 100) + (100i - 100i). The sum of real parts is 200. The sum of imaginary parts is 0: they cancel each other. ANSWER. After simplification, the value of the given expression is 200.
