,$ 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}
-8+4i-2+2i
.\end{array}
Combining the real parts and the imaginary parts results to
\begin{array}{l}\require{cancel}
(-8-2)+(4i+2i)
\\\\=
-10+6i
.\end{array}
