Question

Add or subtract. Write your answer in scientific notation. 6.4 x 10^3+ 1.4 x 10^4+ 7.5 x 10^3

Answer 1

Answer:

2.79 * 10^4

Step-by-step explanation:

6.4 x 10^3+ 1.4 x 10^4+ 7.5 x 10^3

The exponents need to be the same

6.4 x 10^3+ 14 x 10^3+ 7.5 x 10^3

Add the numbers

6.4 + 14+ 7.5 =27.9

Multiply by the exponent

27.9 * 10 ^3

But this is not in scientific notation

Move the decimal one place to the left and add one to the exponent

2.79 * 10^4
