Help me please!

I need help on a problem that involves imaginary numbers. I get most of the things involved with imaginary numbers, but there is this one problem on my homework assignment I don't understand, so if someone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Here's the problem (I'll put the directions for it first): In Exercises 21-24, find the real numbers "x" and "y" that make the equation true. 24. (5-2i)-7= x-(3+yi) *For reference, the square root of -1= i, i^2=-1. i^3= -i, i^4=1

haha! im proud to say i just finished geometry this semester sophomore year, and i have no clue what kinda smart math that is... except that i is a number that isnt completly real, and it has something to do with a negative square root... and now i feel weird cause im thinking about math outside of school...
