simplify.\n$(7 + 5i)+(-5i - 2)$\nwrite your answer in the form $a + bi$.

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms

$$(7 + 5i)+(-5i - 2)=(7-2)+(5i-5i)$$

Step2: Simplify each part

For the real - part: $7 - 2=5$. For the imaginary - part: $5i-5i = 0i$.

Answer:

$5+0i$ (or simply $5$ since $0i$ has no effect on the value and the form $a + bi$ is still satisfied with $b = 0$)
