Since all the terms are being added or substracted across the parenthesis, we may remove the parentheses and combine like terms.
%28-4-3i%29%2B%28-6%2B8i%29
-4-3i%2B-6%2B8i
-4-6-3i%2B8i
-10%2B5i <--- this is the simplified form of the expression
.
Remember "i" means the square root of -1 (an imaginary number).
