Answer:
Either <em><u>10 times</u></em> or <u><em>598,000.</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
6 x 10 ^ 5 = 600,000
2 x 10 ^ 3 = 2,000
If we are figuring out the exact number, 600,000 - 2,000. If we are finding out how many powers larger, count.
600,000 - 2,000 = 598,000
600,000 is 10 times larger than 2,000.

1. Distributive Property.
<span>4(3a + 7) + 3(2a + 5)
12a + 28 + 6a + 20
2. Combine like terms
12a + 28 + 6a + 20
18a +48
The equivalent expression is 18a + 48. If a = anything then the expressions will still be equivalent.
