Write the answer in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Read attentively my answer:

(4 + 3i)(9 + 7i) = 4*9 + 4*(7i) + (3i)*9 + (3i)*(7i) = 

                   36  +  28i   +  27i   +   21*i^2  =    ( now recall that  = -1 and replace  by (-1) )

                   36     +   55i        +   21*(-1) =

                   36     +   55i        -   21      =

                   (36-21) +  55i                    =

                    15     +   55i.

Answer.      15 + 55i.
