To subtract complex numbers, you need to subtract their real parts and their imaginary parts separately.
The real part of the first complex number, 12 - 8i, is 12. The real part of the second complex number, -4 + 3i, is -4. So, the real part of the difference is 12 - (-4) = 12 + 4 = 16.
The imaginary part of the first complex number is -8i, and the imaginary part of the second complex number is 3i. So, the imaginary part of the difference is -8i - 3i = -11i.
Therefore, the difference of the complex numbers (12 - 8i) - (-4 + 3i) is 16 - 11i.
