o Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate (3 + 3i):
((3 - 6i) × (3 + 3i)) / ((3 - 3i) × (3 + 3i))
o Expand denominator: (3² - 3i²) = 9 - 9(-1) = 9 + 9 = 18
o Expand numerator:
 (3 × 3) + (3 × 3i) + (-6i × 3) + (-6i × 3i)
 9 + 9i - 18i - 18i²
 Since i² = -1, replace -18i² with 18
 9 + 9i - 18i + 18 = 27 - 9i
o Divide by 18: (27/18) + (-9/18)i
o Simplify: 3/2 - 1/2i
o Answer: 3/2 - 1/2i

6. (2 - i) / (1 - i)
o Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate (1 + i):
((2 - i) × (1 + i)) / ((1 - i) × (1 + i))
o Expand denominator: (1² - i²) = 1 - (-1) = 2
o Expand numerator:
 (2 × 1) + (2 × i) + (-i × 1) + (-i × i)
 2 + 2i - i - i²
 Since i² = -1, replace -i² with 1
 2 + 2i - i + 1 = 3 + i
o Divide by 2: (3/2) + (1/2)i
o Answer: 3/2 + 1/2i

7. (1 + i) / (1 - i)
o Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate (1 + i):
((1 + i) × (1 + i)) / ((1 - i) × (1 + i))
o Expand denominator: (1² - i²) = 1 - (-1) = 2
o Expand numerator:
 (1 × 1) + (1 × i) + (i × 1) + (i × i)
 1 + i + i + i²
 Since i² = -1, replace i² with -1
 1 + i + i - 1 = 2i
o Divide by 2: (0) + i
o Answer: i
