In mathematics, a complex+number is a number which formally consists of
an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b+are the real+
numbers often written: a+%2B+bi which is the standard form of a
complex number where i=+the_+imaginary_+unit and +i%5E2+=+-1 or
i+=+sqrt%28-1%29.
The real number a is called the real+part of the complex
number, and the real number b is the imaginary+part.
3+%2B+4i+%2B+1+%2F+3+%2B+4i……..add real parts together and imaginary parts together

3+%2B+4i+%2B+1+%2F+3+%2B+4i+=+3+%2B+1%2F3+%2B+8i+=+3%281%2F3%29+%2B+8i+=+10%2F3+%2B+8i
