I would need to find 3z in the form of x+jy where:

$$\frac{1}{3z}=\frac{1}{(3-j4)}+\frac{1}{(3-j4)(5+j2)}$$

What I did was to expand the $$\frac{1}{(3-j4)(5+j2)}$$ which gives me $$\frac{1}{(23-14j)}$$

From here I am not very sure how to continue as I cannot seem to find a way to make both denominator the same.

Thanks for the help in advance!

You can do standard arithmetic, finding a common denominator: $$ \frac{1}{3z}=\frac{1}{(3-j4)}+\frac{1}{(3-j4)(5+j2)}= \frac{(5+j2)+1}{(3-j4)(5+j2)}= \frac{6+j2}{23-j14} $$ Thus $$ 3z=\frac{23-j14}{6+j2}=\frac{23-j14}{6+j2}\frac{6-j2}{6-j2}= \frac{110-j130}{36+4}=\frac{11}{4}-j\frac{13}{4} $$

$$\frac{1}{23 - 14j} \cdot \frac{23 + 14j}{23 + 14j} = \frac{23 + 14j}{529 + 196} = \frac{23}{725} + \frac{14}{725}j$$

As this?

Clearly this is just an input for what you'll have to do.

Use the rationalization method.

Namely: do the same with the first fraction $\frac{1}{3 - 4j}$ and you will get a similar thing. Then sum, simply.

Assuming $j^2=i^2=-1$:

$$\frac{1}{3z}=\frac{1}{(3-4i)}+\frac{1}{(3-4i)(5+2i)}\Longleftrightarrow$$ $$\frac{1}{3z}=\frac{1}{3-4i}+\frac{1}{23-14i}\Longleftrightarrow$$ $$\frac{1}{3z}=\frac{3}{25}+\frac{4i}{25}+\frac{23}{725}+\frac{14i}{725}\Longleftrightarrow$$ $$\frac{1}{3z}=\frac{22}{145}+\frac{26i}{145}\Longleftrightarrow$$ $$\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3z}}=\frac{1}{\frac{22}{145}+\frac{26i}{145}}\Longleftrightarrow$$ $$3z=\frac{11}{4}-\frac{13i}{4}$$
