Answer

$6-10i$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd$ or the FOIL Method and using $i^2=-1$, the given expression $ (-8+2i)(-1+i) ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} -8(-1)-8(i)+2i(-1)+2i(i) \\\\= 8-8i-2i+2i^2 \\\\= 8-8i-2i+2(-1) \\\\= 8-8i-2i-2 \\\\= (8-2)+(-8i-2i) \\\\= 6-10i .\end{array}
