Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-(2x+3)

Notice that we can't further simplify the things in the bracket so we should multiply by -1

Technically this is like:

x - 1(2x+3)

-1 times 2x = -2x   , -1 times 3 is -3

= x - 2x - 3

= -x - 3

Answer:  3 \times 10^{13}

Explanation:

Highlight the first digit on the very left (2). The 7 right next to it means we'll round that 2 up to a 3. Every other digit becomes a zero.

The number 27,895,168,401,112 rounds to 30,000,000,000,000 which is the number 30 trillion.

It converts to the scientific notation 3 \times 10^{13} because we basically start with 3.0 and move the decimal point 13 spots to the right to arrive at 30 trillion as shown above.
