Answer

$6+10i$

Work Step by Step

Using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ or the Distributive Property, the given expression, $ 2i(5-3i) ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} & 2i(5)+2i(-3i) \\&= 10i-6i^2 .\end{align*} Since $i^2=-1,$ the expression above is equivalent to \begin{align*} & 10i-6(-1) \\&= 10i+6 \\&= 6+10i .\end{align*} Hence, the simplified form of the given expression is $ 6+10i $.
