What did they do wrong?
- The student student seemed to only add together the ones in in parenthesis first and then added then added them resulting in 14i.
What they should have done instead?
- The student should have instead seen this as any regular adding equation, with the exception of the presence of a complex number.
- If he should have seen this as a regular addition equation then the numbers would have canceled and it should have only been 14.
