2a+bi=5i-2
Calculate the square root of -25 and get 5i.
2a=5i-2-bi
Subtract bi from both sides.
2a=5i-2-ib
Multiply -1 and i to get -i.
2a=-2+5i-ib
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{-2+5i-ib}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
a=\frac{-2+5i-ib}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
a=-\frac{ib}{2}+\left(-1+\frac{5}{2}i\right)
Divide -2+5i-ib by 2.
2a+bi=5i-2
Calculate the square root of -25 and get 5i.
bi=5i-2-2a
Subtract 2a from both sides.
ib=-2+5i-2a
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{ib}{i}=\frac{-2+5i-2a}{i}
Divide both sides by i.
b=\frac{-2+5i-2a}{i}
Dividing by i undoes the multiplication by i.
b=2ia+\left(5+2i\right)
Divide -2+5i-2a by i.
