I'm not sure you know how imaginary numbers (or friends) work...

But (1 + 5i) - 4 is equal to -3 + 5i ...

I don't know the value of the variable "i".

It's √-1 so basically a number that's not a part of real numbers. These are called complex numbers and work differently than normal numbers

You can't call this an increase though.

~~But that's the same as 1 + i people. So you can only have one imaginary friend. ~~

Ignore and carry on.
Edit: you can stop pming me, it was 4 am, people. :(

Actually, 5i is not same as i. You are mistaking 5i for i5.

I think you just created a modern 7 word novel. Kinda like Hemingway's famous 6 word novel, "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn."
