| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{-2-4i}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( -8-6i\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{-2-4i}\right) \cdot \left( -8-6i\right) = 16+12i+32i+24i^2 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 16+ \color{blue}{12i} + \color{blue}{32i} +24i^2 = 24i^2+ \color{blue}{44i} +16 $$ |
