Solution :-

(1 + i) (x + iy) = 2 – 5i

Given:

(1 + i) (x + iy) = 2 – 5i

Divide with (1+i) on both the sides we get,

(x + iy) = \(\dfrac{ (2 – 5i)}{(1+i)}\)

Multiply and divide by (1-i)

= \( \dfrac{2 – 7i + 5(-1) }{ 2}\) [since, i= -1]

= \(\dfrac{ (-3-7i)}{2}\)

Now, equating Real and Imaginary parts on both sides we get

x = \( \dfrac{-3}{2}\) and y = \( \dfrac{-7}{2}\)

Thee real values of x and y are \( \dfrac{-3}{2}, \dfrac{-7}{2}\)
