Answer:
1.6296*[tex]10^8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this problem, factoring skills are helpful
Step 1: See if both the terms (numbers) have a common factor. In this case, it's both [tex]10^7[/tex], so we can rewrite the equation as this (below) by pulling out the common factor.
(10^7)(9.54+6.756)
Solve the inside of the paranthasis to get
16.296*10^7
We're not done yet, as scientific notation requires the number in front to be from 1-9.999...
factor out a 10 from 16.296 to get 10*(1.6296)
replace the 16.296 with (1.6296)*10 to get:
1.6296*10*10^7, and combine 10*10^7 to get 10^8
final answer: 1.6296*10^8
side note: 10^7 = [tex]10^7[/tex], the upside down V indicates exponents, and 10=10^1
