Solution

`(1 - 2"i")/(3 - 4"i") + (1 + 2"i")/(3 + 4"i")`

= `((1 - 2"i")(3 + 4"i") + (3 - 4"i")(1 + 2"i"))/((3 + 4"i")(3 - 4"i"))`

= `(3 + 4"i" - 6"i" - 8"i"^2 + 3 + 6"i" - 4"i" - 8"i"^2)/(9 - 16"i"^2)`

= `(6 - 16"i"^2)/(9 - 16(-1))`

= `(6 - 16(-1))/(9 + 16)`    ...[∵ i2 = – 1]

= `22/25`, which is a real number.
