#13 + 6i#

Adding complex numbers is similar to adding normal numbers.

#(3+11i) + (10-5i)#

#3+11i + 10 - 5i#

Combine like terms:
#13 + 6i#

Hope this helps!

#13+6i#

Even though it is not one, for the most part we can treat the imaginary unit like it is a variable.

We can combine the corresponding parts to get

#13+6i#
