| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{7+2i}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( -6+8i\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{7+2i}\right) \cdot \left( -6+8i\right) = -42+56i-12i+16i^2 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ -42+ \color{blue}{56i} \color{blue}{-12i} +16i^2 = 16i^2+ \color{blue}{44i} -42 $$ |
