can anyone help with simplifying these two?
![## Complex Number Operations
### Example Problems
**12)** \[(3 + 2i) + (5 - 3i)\]
**13)** \[(4 + 2i)(3 - 2i)\]
---
#### Explanation:
In problem 12, we are adding two complex numbers. The general formula for adding complex numbers \((a + bi) + (c + di)\) is to combine the real parts \(a\) and \(c\), and the imaginary parts \(b\) and \(d\).
In problem 13, we are multiplying two complex numbers. To multiply complex numbers \((a + bi)(c + di)\), we use the distributive property (also known as FOIL), and remember \(i^2 = -1\).
