s = 6 + e

s + e = 28

We can use this system of equations to find the exact values of s and e.

We have a current value of s, so we can find the exact value of e now.

e + e + 6 = 28

<em><u>Combine like terms.</u></em>

2e + 6 = 28

<em><u>Subtract both sides by 6.</u></em>

2e = 22

<em><u>Divide both sides by 2.</u></em>

e = 11

Now we have an exact value of e, and can solve for the value of s.

s = 6 + 11

s = 17

Sophia is 17 years old, and Eric is 11 years old.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Organizations like NASA who explore space and planets often have to deal with measurement of very long distances such as the one stated above. The Major challenge with the distance written in the format expressed above is the difficulty to read, state or use in mathematical calculations as it is too explicit. A more effective method is to express this distance in standard format and more suitable long distant units such as miles.

For instance;

880,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers could be expressed as in standard form as ;

8.8 * 10^23 km
