Question

Identify the values of x and y that make the equation 2x + 5i = 16 + (2y)i true. HELP ASAP!!

Answer 1

x = 8; y = 2.5.

Explanation:

As we know , when two complex numbers are equal their real as well as imaginary part are equal.

So comparing on both sides ,

2x = 16 and 5 = 2y

x = 8 and y = 2.5.

So , x = 8; y = 2.5.
