Remark work with the two numbers that are 10^4 first. Then add in the one that goes to 10^3

Method one
You could change these all to integers and then take it back to scientific notation.

83 000
-19 000
64 000
- 2 500
 61 500 <<<<<< answer

Method two
Keep the scientific notation.
8.3 * 10^4
-1.9 * 10^4
6.4 * 10^4
- .25*10^4 Note the powers of ten must be the same.
6.15*10^4 <<<<<<<< answer

Either method works.

You could use your calculator to get the right answer. I'm not sure all calculators retain the scientific notation. Test yours to see what it does. Enter 8.3*10y^x 4 *1 =

Your calculator might have x^y or ^ to record powers. You may also have EE and one of your keys.

See if your calculator returns 8.3*10^4 or if it returns 83000

To hang lights up on his house.Garrett place is a 14 foot ladder 4 feet from the base of the house. How high up the house will t

Firlakuza [10]

This seems like a right triangle problem.

So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem ( $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ ) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.
