working backwards  (-11 + 5i)(1 - i)  =  -11 + 11i + 5i +5  = -6 + 16i

subtracting -i we have  -6 +16i - (-i) = -6 + 17i


(a + bi)(2 + 3i)  =  2a + 3ai + 2bi + 3bi^2 = 2a - 3b + (3a + 2b)i

2a - 3b + (3a + 2b)i  = -6 + 17i

EQuating real and imaginary parts:-

2a - 3b = - 6
3a + 2b = 17

solving this for a and b gives a = 3 and b = 4
