I have hit a wall in trying to solve the equation by hand. I feel like it should just be adding the fractions and if the complex values are to be multiplied then change to polar but must be wrong or my calculations are wrong 1/(10-j40)+1/120-1/12(1-j4) the ans is 91.2 -j38.4 Thank you for any help

How we did in class was different from the text but maybe this will help, and the equation was
It=Vt[(1/(10-j40))+(1/120)-(1/12(1-j4))]
the Zth=Vt/It = 91.2 -j38.4

Sorry I messed that question up.
