5-2i-a+bi=6
Calculate the square root of -4 and get 2i.
-2i-a+bi=6-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-2i-a+bi=1
Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.
-a+bi=1+2i
Add 2i to both sides.
-a=1+2i-bi
Subtract bi from both sides.
-a=1+2i-ib
Multiply -1 and i to get -i.
\frac{-a}{-1}=\frac{1+2i-ib}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
a=\frac{1+2i-ib}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
a=ib+\left(-1-2i\right)
Divide 1+2i-ib by -1.
5-2i-a+bi=6
Calculate the square root of -4 and get 2i.
-2i-a+bi=6-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-2i-a+bi=1
Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.
-a+bi=1+2i
Add 2i to both sides.
bi=1+2i+a
Add a to both sides.
ib=a+\left(1+2i\right)
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{ib}{i}=\frac{a+\left(1+2i\right)}{i}
Divide both sides by i.
b=\frac{a+\left(1+2i\right)}{i}
Dividing by i undoes the multiplication by i.
b=2-i-ia
Divide 1+2i+a by i.
