Answer

$4+i$

Work Step by Step

Multiplying by the conjugate of the denominator of $ \dfrac{3+5i}{1+i} $ results to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{3+5i}{1+i} \cdot \dfrac{1-i}{1-i} \\\\= \dfrac{3(1)+3(-i)+5i(1)+5i(-i)}{(1)^2-(i)^2} \\\\= \dfrac{3-3i+5i-5i^2}{1-i^2} \\\\= \dfrac{3-3i+5i-5(-1)}{1-(-1)} \\\\= \dfrac{3-3i+5i+5}{1+1} \\\\= \dfrac{8+2i}{2} \\\\= 4+i .\end{array}
