    6-5i

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To solve for this equations we have to group the like terms together

    (1-6i) + (5+i)

    we will group - 6i with + i and positive 1 with positive 5

    so we get (-6i+i) + (1+5)

    -5i+6 or can be written as 6-5i

    -6i+i (there is actually an imaginary 1 with i and you subtract these 2 numbers because the signs are different and use the signs of the larger number which is 6 and the sign is negative.

    6+-5i

    or

    6-5i

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (1-6i) + (5+i)

    We do not need the () since the operation is just addition.

    1-6i+5+i

    Reorder using commutative property so that like terms are together:

    1+5+-6i+i

    Use multiplicative identity property:

    1+5+-6i+1i

    Simplify:

    6+-5i
