See details below

Explanation:

The sum over #CC# is defined by #(a+bi)+(c+di)=(a+c)+(b+d)i#

In our case:
#u-v-w=(2-8i)-(9+5i)-(-9+4i)=2-8i-9-5i+9-4i=2-17i#

Explanation:

Put the values of u,v,w
#=(2-8i)-(9+5i)-(-9+4i)#
#=2-8i-9-5i+9-4i# (By opening brackets)
#=2-9+9-4i-5i-8i#
#=2-9i-8i#
#=2-17i#
