8−i3−2i
If the expression above is rewritten in the form a+bi, where a and b are real numbers, what is the value of a? (Note: i=−1)

Is your note correct?
(8−i3−2i)(3+2i3+2i)=24+16i−3+(−i)(2i)(32)+(2i)2
Since i2=−1, this last fraction can be reduced simplified to
24+16i−3i+29−(−4)=26+13i13
which simplifies further to 2+i. Therefore, when8−i3−2i is rewritten in the standard form a + bi, the value of a is 2.
The final answer is A.

8-i3 (or) 3i-2i
8-5i=a+bi
by comparing both
a=-5i,b=8
given,i=-1
-5i=-5×-1
a=5
8-5i=a+bi
by comparing both
a=-5i,b=8
given,i=-1
-5i=-5×-1
a=5
