In 2013, the population of the state of New York was approximately 19.65 million, and the population of New York City was 8,406,
000. In 2013, how many people in New York state did not live in New York City? The answer in standard notation is BLANK. The answer in scientific notation is p × 10q, where p is BLANK and q is BLANK
For the first blank you would get an answer of 11,244,000 The second blank would be 11.244 x 10^6
I found the first answer by subtracting 8,406,000 from 19,650,000
The second answer by converting the first answer into a decimal and counting how many decimal places I would have to move in order to get the original number
These equations do match up. All you have to do is find the solution to the first equation. After that, plug in that solution to the second equation. If it makes the equation true, then the equations match.
