We can either convert to standard form first or convert to a common multiplier, kinda like a common denominator. The latter makes more sense if they wanted the result in scientific notation, but let's do it that way anyway.
a)
4.5 × 10⁴ + 3.8 × 10³ = 45 × 10³ + 3.8 × 10³ = 48.8× 10³ = 48,800
Answer: 48,800
b)
4.5 × 10⁴ - 3.8 × 10³ = 45 × 10³ - 3.8 × 10³ = 41.2× 10³ = 41,200
Answer: 41,200
c)
7.2 × 10⁻³ + 6.3 × 10⁻² = 7.2 × 10⁻³ + 63 × 10⁻³ = 70.2 × 10⁻³
= 7.02 × 10⁻² = 0.0702
Answer: 0.0702
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using provided formula and filling in the variables:
z = 
Filling in in calculator:
z ≈ -1.34
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we just have to the multiplication and do the simplification (adding up the similar terms) afterwards:
3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3 becomes...
3x + 3 = 7x - 14 - 3
3x + 3 = 7x -17
Then we move all x's on one side and all plain numbers on the other side, we'll move the x's to the right since there's a bigger value there, and will move the plain numbers on the left side, by subtracting 3x and by adding 17 on both sides
3x + 3 - 3x + 17 = 7x -17 + 17 - 3x
20 = 4x
If we isolate x alone we have:
20/4 = x or x = 5
