Answer

$7-3i$

Work Step by Step

Removing the grouping symbols, the given expression, $ (4-2i)-(-3+i) ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} 4-2i+3-i .\end{align*} Combining the real parts and the imaginary parts, the expression above is equivalent to \begin{align*} & (4+3)+(-2i-i) \\&= 7+(-3i) \\&= 7-3i .\end{align*} Hence, the simplified form of the given expression is $ 7-3i $.
