The i terms would have to cancel out (inner and outer from FOIL). Right now the inner would be 60i so the outer, Ki times 5, must come out -60i, so figure out what times 5 = -60. That’s K
0

Multiply out to get 100 – 3K + (60 + 5K)i

If this is to be real then the imag part must be 0

60 + 5K = 0

So it’s answer A, isn’t it
