How would I simplify these expressions? (Pre-Calculus) I know that you are supposed to multiply all of these to do so, but every time I do that, I still get the wrong answer. My textbook says that these are the answers: 19: -15 + 8i
21: 8 + 6i
23: 34
25: 85
Could anyone explain how they got these answers? Mine are way off. Is the book just wrong? In #21, how would 3 times 3 equal 8 in the answer? Am I missing something?

Phyllis and chen are saving money to go to a football game. each friend starts with some money and saves a specific amount each week. phyllis made a graph to show the total she has saved at the end of each week. chen wrote an equation to show the total, y, he has saved at the end of each week, x. y = 15x + 15 compare the amount that each friend has when both friends start saving. select the correct answer from the drop-down menu to complete the statement. phyllis starts with $ and chen starts with $

Find the constant of variation for the relation and use it to write an equation for the statement. then solve the equation.
