| ① | Multiply $6$ by $ \dfrac{i}{1} $ to get $ 6i$. Step 1: Write $ 6 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 6 \cdot \frac{i}{1} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{6}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{i}{1} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 6 \cdot i }{ 1 \cdot 1 } \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 6i }{ 1 } = \\[1ex] &=6i \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{6i} + \color{blue}{2i} = \color{blue}{8i} $$ |
