According to the solutions manual. The answer is:

This is what I calculated:

As you can see. The only difference is that I did

$$\frac{1}{10}−\frac {j}{10}+\frac{1}{8+j6}$$ instead of $$\frac{1}{10}+\frac {j}{10}+\frac{1}{8+j6}$$​

When you take the reciprocal it disappears.
\[ \frac{1}{j}\;=\; -j \]
Right?
Ok. I'm getting confused now. I just did a problem that is almost the same and got the correct answer. So what is the difference that I have failed to see?

Now I did the same problem the way I am supposed to and I get a wrong answer:

The angle is wrong. It should be positive not negative. So what am I doing wrong here?

How do you know what the correct solutions for post #5 and #6 are? Are those also worked out in a solutions manual? If so, post the solutions given in the solutions manual.
