Answer 4

So the expression is this?

\[\Large \frac{\left(6.6 \times 10^{17}\right)-\left(9.2 \times 10^{14}\right)}{4 \times 10^{16}}\]

Answer 5

yep

Answer 6

it turns out that
\[\Large 9.2 \times 10^{14} = 0.0092 \times 10^{17}\]
notice how I moved the decimal point 3 spots to the left. To counter balance that, I bumped the exponent up 3 (from 14 to 17)

Answer 7

so
\[\Large \frac{\left(6.6 \times 10^{17}\right)-\left(9.2 \times 10^{14}\right)}{4 \times 10^{16}}\]
turns into
\[\Large \frac{\left(6.6 \times 10^{17}\right)-\left(0.0092 \times 10^{17}\right)}{4 \times 10^{16}}\]

Answer 8

so...um...?

Answer 9

are you able to combine
\[\Large \left(6.6 \times 10^{17}\right)-\left(0.0092 \times 10^{17}\right)\]
???

Answer 10

Answer 12

Answer 13
