Understanding the 'Keep Change Opposite' Method

This video tutorial teaches how to subtract complex numbers using the Keep Change Opposite method. It begins with identifying subtraction problems, then explains the method, which involves keeping the first term, changing the subtraction sign to addition, and taking the opposite of the second term. The tutorial concludes with combining like terms to solve the problem.
