<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Because we perform something like common factor, so this guarantee that corresponding digits have regarding coefficients have the same place value. Remember that a number written in scientific notation is given by the product of a number between 1 and 10 and another number that is power of 10. For example, let's write two examples about this:

Addition:

a=2\times 10^3 \\ \\ b=4\times 10^3 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a+b=2\times 10^3+4\times 10^3 \\ \\ =(2+4)\times 10^3 \\ \\ =5\times 10^3

Addition:

a=2\times 10^3 \\ \\ b=4\times 10^3 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a+b=2\times 10^3+4\times 10^3 \\ \\ =(2+4)\times 10^3 \\ \\ =6\times 10^3

Subtraction:

a=7\times 10^5 \\ \\ b=2\times 10^5 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a-b=7\times 10^5-2\times 10^5 \\ \\ =(7-2)\times 10^5 \\ \\ =5\times 10^5

Reduce to simplest form.<br> -7/12 + 3/8<br> (They are fractions)
denpristay [2]

Answer:

-5/24

Step-by-step explanation:

You first change -7/12 to -14/24, and 3/8 to 9/24 so they have the same denominator. You then do -14/24 + 9/24. That will be the same as the opposite of the answer to 14/24 - 9/24.

14/24 - 9/24 = 5/24

-5/24
