Answer

A. x=2,y=−1\text{A. } x=2, y=-1

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Expand the left side of the equation.

    Given the equation (1+2i)(x+yi)=4+3i(1+2i)(x+yi) = 4+3i.
    Multiply the terms on the left side:

    (1+2i)(x+yi)=1(x)+1(yi)+2i(x)+2i(yi)(1+2i)(x+yi) = 1(x) + 1(yi) + 2i(x) + 2i(yi) =x+yi+2xi+2yi2= x + yi + 2xi + 2y i^2

    Since i2=−1i^2 = -1:

    =x+yi+2xi−2y= x + yi + 2xi - 2y
  2. Group the real and imaginary parts on the left side.

    =(x−2y)+(y+2x)i= (x - 2y) + (y + 2x)i
  3. Equate the real and imaginary parts of both sides of the equation.

    We have (x−2y)+(y+2x)i=4+3i(x - 2y) + (y + 2x)i = 4+3i.
    Equating the real parts:

    x−2y=4(1)x - 2y = 4 \quad (1)

    Equating the imaginary parts:

    y+2x=3(2)y + 2x = 3 \quad (2)
  4. Solve the system of linear equations for xx and yy.

    From equation (2), express yy in terms of xx:

    y=3−2x(3)y = 3 - 2x \quad (3)

    Substitute this expression for yy into equation (1):

    x−2(3−2x)=4x - 2(3 - 2x) = 4 x−6+4x=4x - 6 + 4x = 4 5x−6=45x - 6 = 4 5x=4+65x = 4 + 6 5x=105x = 10 x=105x = \frac{10}{5} x=2x = 2

    Now substitute the value of x=2x=2 back into equation (3) to find yy:

    y=3−2(2)y = 3 - 2(2) y=3−4y = 3 - 4 y=−1y = -1
  5. Compare the solution with the given options.

    The solution is x=2x=2 and y=−1y=-1.
    This matches option A.

    The final answer is A. x=2,y=−1\text{A. } x=2, y=-1.
