    Previous answer is incorrect - it has several mistakes.

    I'll give you a start on the first one, and a hint, but if you don't mind, I won't do the whole thing for you as you will learn more by doing it yourself:

    (2+7i)(3-5i)

    = 2(3-5i) +7i(3-5i)

    Hint:
    Now multiply each of those terms outside the brackets by the terms of the expressions inside the brackets.


    As for 3i(2+4i), this one is easier. Multiply the term outside the brackets by the terms of the expression inside the brackets.

    And remember, i^2 (meaning i squared) = -1

    Hope it helps
