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 \(i^2 = -1\).
