Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are performing a subtraction operation on two numbers in scientific notation.
2. Both numbers have the same power of ten, 10710^7.

STEP 2

1. Identify the components of the numbers.
2. Subtract the coefficients.
3. Multiply the result by the power of ten.

STEP 3

Identify the coefficients and the common power of ten in the expression.
The expression is: (7.9×107)(3.3×107)(7.9 \times 10^7) - (3.3 \times 10^7)
Here, the coefficients are 7.97.9 and 3.33.3, and the common power of ten is 10710^7.

STEP 4

Subtract the coefficients.
Calculate: 7.93.3=4.67.9 - 3.3 = 4.6

STEP 5

Multiply the result by the common power of ten.
The result is: 4.6×1074.6 \times 10^7
The solution to the problem is: 4.6×107\boxed{4.6 \times 10^7}
