AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving two equations, but there is confusion as the title and content present different problems. The equations mentioned include 8x-4=9x+6 and -x=10, while the actual focus shifts to adding complex numbers. The solution provided involves combining the real and imaginary parts of the complex numbers (-9+3i) and (4+5i), resulting in 8i=5. The final answer expresses the imaginary unit i as 5/8, indicating a misunderstanding of the original equations. Clarification on the intended problem would enhance the assistance provided.

Your thread title and post content show two different problems...which one is correct? And what have you tried? I ask because we can better give you help if we see what you have tried as this gives us an indication of where you're stuck or may be going wrong.
 
You can treat imaginary parts and real parts separately - they add in the same way "regular" numbers do. We'll be able to help you more if we know where you're stuck :)
 
Well the title of the thread is different from the post of the thread, it was previous post which I was solved few minutes ago.
But I will solve your problem.
Problem---> (-9+3i)+(4+5i)=?
-9+3i+4+5i=?
Transfer the imaginary no. to one side and real no. to other side
3i+5i=9-4
8i=5
i=5/8
I think my solution will help you.

I believe the OP was supposed to express the sum of the two given complex numbers in the form $a+bi$ where:

$$i\equiv\sqrt{-1}$$

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
