Solution Steps

To find the equivalent expression, we need to distribute the multiplication of \((4.5j + 6)\) by \(-2.3\). This involves multiplying each term inside the parentheses by \(-2.3\).

Step 1: Distributing the Expression

We start with the expression \((4.5j + 6)(-2.3)\). To simplify this, we apply the distributive property:

\[ (4.5j)(-2.3) + (6)(-2.3) \]

Step 2: Calculating Each Term

Now, we calculate each term separately:

  1. For the first term: \[ 4.5j \cdot -2.3 = -10.35j \]

  2. For the second term: \[ 6 \cdot -2.3 = -13.8 \]

Step 3: Combining the Results

Combining both results, we have:

\[ -10.35j - 13.8 \]

Final Answer

Thus, the expression equivalent to \((4.5j + 6)(-2.3)\) is

\[ \boxed{-10.35j - 13.8} \]
