simplify (2-2i)/(3-5i)

%282-2i%29%2F%283-5i%29=%28%282-2i%29%2F%283-5i%29%29%28%283%2B5i%29%2F%283%2B5i%29%29 
Next we multiply out both numerator and denominator: 
 
Note that 
-%285i%29%5E2=-%28-25%29=25 
and 
-10i%5E2=-10%28-1%29=10 
So our expression becomes 
%2816%2B4i%29%2F%289%2B25%29 
Which simplifies to: 
16%2F34%2B4i%2F34 
or 
8%2F17%2B%282%2F17%29i
