Answer

$\dfrac{18}{25}+\dfrac{26}{25}i$

Work Step by Step

Multiplying by the conjugate of the denominator of $ \dfrac{6+2i}{4-3i} $ results to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{6+2i}{4-3i} \cdot \dfrac{4+3i}{4+3i} \\\\= \dfrac{6(4)+6(3i)+2i(4)+2i(3i)}{(4)^2-(3i)^2} \\\\= \dfrac{24+18i+8i+6i^2}{16-9i^2} \\\\= \dfrac{24+18i+8i+6(-1)}{16-9(-1)} \\\\= \dfrac{18+26i}{25} \\\\= \dfrac{18}{25}+\dfrac{26}{25}i .\end{array}
