From the information given,

ZT = (Z1Z2)/(Z1 + Z2)

Z1 = 70 + 40i

Z2 = 50 - 35i

Z1Z2 = (70 + 40i)(50 - 35i)

Z1Z2 = 3500 - 2450i + 2000i - 1400i^2

Recall, i^2 = - 1

Z1Z2 = 3500 - 2450i + 2000i - 1400(-1)

Z1Z2 = 3500 - 2450i + 2000i + 1400

Z1Z2 = 4900 - 450i

Z1 + Z2 = 70 + 40i + 50 - 55i = 70 + 50 + 40i - 35i

Z1 + Z2 = 120 + 5i

ZT = (4900 - 450i)/(120 + 5i)

We would rationalize the denominator by multiplying by (120 - 5i)/(120 - 5i). It becomes

ZT = (4900 - 450i)/(120 + 5i) x (120 - 5i)/(120 - 5i)

ZT = (4900 - 450i)(120 - 5i)/(120 + 5i)(120 - 5i)

(4900 - 450i)(120 - 5i) = 588000 - 24500i - 54000i + 2250i^2

(4900 - 450i)(120 - 5i) = 588000 - 24500i - 54000i + 2250(- 1)

(4900 - 450i)(120 - 5i) = 588000 - 24500i - 54000i - 2250

(4900 - 450i)(120 - 5i) = 585750 - 78500i

(120 + 5i)(120 - 5i) = 14400 - 600i + 600i - 25i^2

(120 + 5i)(120 - 5i) = 14400 - 25i(-1)

(120 + 5i)(120 - 5i) = 14400 + 25

(120 + 5i)(120 - 5i) = `14425

ZT = (585750 - 78500i)/14425)

ZT = 40.607 - 5.442i
