Answer:
B) 5 + 17i is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to write this equation as a complex number in standard form, you must first simplify each term.
Apple the distributive property.
21 - 4i - 1 * 16 - (7i) + 28i
Multiply -1 by 16.
21 - 4i -16 - (7i) + 28i
Multiply 7 by -1.
21 - 4i - 16 - 7i + 28i
Now simplify by adding terms :)
Subtract 16 from 21.
5 - 4i - 7i + 28i
Subtract 7i from -4i.
5 - 11i + 28i
Add -11i and 28i.
= 5 + 17i
