Question

When solving the equation x+3.6=8, would you clear the decimals by multiplying each term by 10? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes, there's am equation that shows this pretty easily,

$3.6 \times 10 ^{1}$
depending on how many exponents there are is how many times you'll move the decimal point left or right( depending if the decimal is positive or negative, if positive the to the right, if negative the left)
