| ① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{3i} $ by $ \left( 2-5i\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{3i} \cdot \left( 2-5i\right) = 6i-15i^2 $$ |
| ② | $$ -15i^2 = -15 \cdot (-1) = 15 $$ |
| ③ | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{6i+15}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 4+i\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{6i+15}\right) \cdot \left( 4+i\right) = 24i+6i^2+60+15i $$ |
| ④ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{24i} +6i^2+60+ \color{blue}{15i} = 6i^2+ \color{blue}{39i} +60 $$ |
