TypeLinear equations in z and z*

2 It is given that \(z = x + \mathrm { i } y\), where \(x\) and \(y\) are real numbers.
  1. Find, in terms of \(x\) and \(y\), the real and imaginary parts of $$3 \mathrm { i } z + 2 z ^ { * }$$ where \(z ^ { * }\) is the complex conjugate of \(z\).
  2. Find the complex number \(z\) such that $$3 \mathrm { i } z + 2 z ^ { * } = 7 + 8 \mathrm { i }$$
