Work Step by Step
$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$
To simplify the given expression, $
(2-5i)-(8+6i)
,$ remove the grouping symbols. Then combine the real parts and the imaginary parts.
$\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$
Removing the grouping symbols, the given expression is equivalent to
\begin{array}{l}\require{cancel}
2-5i-8-6i
.\end{array}
Combining the real parts and the imaginary parts results to
\begin{array}{l}\require{cancel}
(2-8)+(-5i-6i)
\\\\=
-6-11i
.\end{array}
