#i=-1/5#

Transform the equation to an addition equation could make things easier

#(4+8i)-(3+3i)#

#(4+8i)+(-3-3i)#

I’m going to rearrange them to make things even easier.

#8i-3i+4-3#

#5i+1#

Now you want to solve to find i (You want to isolate it.)

#5i+1-1=0-1#

#5i=-1#

#(5i)/5= -1/5 #

#i=-1/5#
