Answer

$\dfrac{4+6i}{3i}=2-\dfrac{4}{3}i$

Work Step by Step

$\dfrac{4+6i}{3i}$ Multiply the fraction by $\dfrac{-3i}{-3i}$: $\Big(\dfrac{4+6i}{3i}\Big)\Big(\dfrac{-3i}{-3i}\Big)=\dfrac{-12i-18i^{2}}{-9i^{2}}=...$ Substitute $i^{2}$ with $-1$: $...=\dfrac{-12i-18(-1)}{-9(-1)}=\dfrac{-12i+18}{9}=\dfrac{18}{9}-\dfrac{12}{9}i=2-\dfrac{4}{3}i$
