−17j−4

Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression \((j+2) - 2(3-9j)\) step by step.

1. Distribute the \(-2\) to the terms inside the parentheses:
\[
(j + 2) - 2(3) + 2(9j) = (j + 2) - 6 + 18j
\]

2. Combine like terms:
\[
j + 18j + 2 - 6 = 19j - 4
\]

So, the final result is:
\[
\boxed{19j - 4}
\]

Thus, the correct response is **19j−4**.
