Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

x - 14 = 2 + 9x

Subtract x from both sides

- 14 = 2 + 9x - x

-14 = 2 + 8x

Subtract 2 from both sides

-14-2 = 8x

-16 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8

-16/8 = x

x = -2

Answer:

$-3.9098*10^8$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Convert to Standard Form:

9.29 * 10^7 = 92900000

4.8388 * 10^8= 483880000

2) Subtract 483880000 from 92900000.

$92900000-483880000=-390980000$

3) Convert the difference into scientific notation.

$-390980000= -3.9098 * 10^8$

<em>C would be your best choice.</em>
