Please see the explanation.

Use the F.O.I.L. method.

Start with the product of the F irst terms:

$(7 + j3)(2 - j5) = 14$

Add the product of the O utside terms:

$(7 + j3)(2 - j5) = 14 - j35$

Add the product of the I nside terms:

$(7 + j3)(2 - j5) = 14 - j35 + j6$

Add the product of the L ast terms:

$(7 + j3)(2 - j5) = 14 - j35 + j6 - j^(2)15$

Because $j^2 = -1$ , the last term becomes + 15:

$(7 + j3)(2 - j5) = 14 - j35 + j6 + 15$

Combine like terms:

$(7 + j3)(2 - j5) = 29 - j29$
