numbers.
Addition and subtraction of complex numbers follow the same rules as combining like terms.

To multiply complex numbers use FOIL or the box method.
Example 1: Simplify
Draw the box and multiply to fill in the squares.
Remember that i
2
=-1 so -10(-1)=10
Combine the real numbers 12+10=22
Combine the imaginary numbers 20i-6i=14i
Write the answer as a complex number 22+14i .
