$(7 - 3j)$

$5(2 - j) + (2j - 3)$

Removing the brackets

$10 - 5j + 2j - 3$

Collect like terms

$-5j +2j +10 -3$

Note: If it's simplify, then you can just add them up together to get out the answer..

But since it's factors..

$(-5j +2j)+ (+10 -3)$

$(-5j +2j) (+7)$

$j (-5 + 2) +1(7)$

$j (-3) +1(7) -> "No Factor?"$

But can be simplified to $-> (7 - 3j)$

How do you factor 5(2-j)+(2j-3)5(2-j)+(2j-3)?
