SOLUTION: How so I solve (5+^-9)+(7-5i) ? Sorry if that makes no sense. I was told that ^ meant square root? If that's not true then my apologies. Just.. Stick it in there I guess:) haha

^ does not mean square root, means exponent, but I believe that you here need square root
%285%2Bsqrt%28-9%29%29%2B%287-5i%29
%285%2Bsqrt%28%28-1%29%2A9%29%29%2B%287-5i%29......recall that sqrt%28-1%29=i
%285%2B3i%29%2B%287-5i%29
5%2B3i%2B7-5i
%285%2B7%29%2B%283i-5i%29
12-2i
