I'm wondering how he goes from 120+3jw on the denominator to 120+j86.71

I tried figuring out mathematically to get that number but couldn't get it... is it something to do with polar coordinates?

Hello again, I have another question. In this problem towards the bottom right of the page, he goes from "j20.36 + 88.10<-84.95" to "0 + j20.36". I'm assuming that the 88.10 cancels out somehow since the degree is negative, but I'd like some clarification on why that is. Also, I have no idea how he goes to the next step from that, where he says "7.755 -j87.76 / 7.755 - j67.40"

Thanks

The horizontal line indicates that he is adding two complex quantities together. Since they are in different notations, he has to convert the polar representation of to a rectangular one. Then he can add two rectangular quantities together, and then convert back to polar. I disagree on this digits, but the method is sound.

I get 7.757 - j67.371 =67.817 ∠ -83.432°
