Find the complex number z such that 5iz+3z* +16 = 8i. Give your answer in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers.

Firstly, we note that z being a complex number can be expressed in the form z = a + bi. If we then take the complex conjugate of this expression, the real numbers remain the same (as they are their own c con...
