Well, to know right away whether or not a number is equal to 1, you need to know what 1 is in scientific notation. 1 * 10^0. Easy enough :) To know if the number is greater than one, any positive number multiplied by 10^a number higher than 0 is greater than one. As well as any number greater than one multiplied by 10^0 or a positive number. For numbers less than one, the way to know is if the number is being multiplied by 10 ^ a negative number. I hope this helps :)
The one is the same everywhere so we ignore it.

Answer:
7a+2a=9a
Step-by-step explanation:
