Complex Addition is Commutative/Examples/(3 + 2i) + (-7 - i)

Example of Use of Complex Addition is Commutative

Example: $\paren {3 + 2 i} + \paren {-7 - i}$

$\paren {3 + 2 i} + \paren {-7 - i} = -4 + i$

Example: $\paren {-7 - i} + \paren {3 + 2 i}$

$\paren {-7 - i} + \paren {3 + 2 i} = -4 + i$

As can be seen:

$\paren {3 + 2 i} + \paren {-7 - i} = \paren {-7 - i} + \paren {3 + 2 i}$

$\blacksquare$
