Adding and Subtracting…
The important thing to remember about adding or subtracting is that the exponents must be the same!
If the exponents are not the same then it is necessary to change one of the numbers so that both numbers have the same exponential value.
Adding…
The general format for adding is as follows…
(N x 10
x
) + (M x 10
x
) = (N + M) x 10
x
The first step, if necessary, is to change one of the numbers so that both numbers have the same exponential value.
Adding…
Secondly, add the N and M numbers together and express as an answer.
The final step is to multiply the result by the 10
x
.
(It may be necessary to put the resulting answer into proper scientific notation.)
Adding With the Same Exponent
(3.45 x 10
3
) + (6.11 x 10
3
)
3.45 + 6.11 = 9.56
9.56 x 10

Adding With Different Exponents
(4.12 x 10
6
) + (3.94 x 10
4
)
(412 x 10
4
) + (3.94 x 10
4
)
412 + 3.94 = 415.94
415.94 x 10

Express in proper form:
4.15 x 10

Subtracting…
The general form for subtracting is as follows…
(N x 10
x
) – (M x 10
x
) = (N – M) x 10
x
The first step, if necessary is to change one of the numbers so that both numbers have the same exponential value. (Just like adding).

Subtracting…
Secondly, subtract the M number from the N number and express as an answer.
The final step is to multiply the result by the 10
x
.
(It may be necessary to put the resulting answer into proper scientific notation.)

Subtracting With the Same Exponent
(8.96 x 10
7
) – (3.41 x 10
7
)
8.96 – 3.41 = 5.55
5.55 x 10

Subtracting With Different Exponents
(4.23 x 10
3
) – (9.56 x 10
2
)
(42.3 x 10
2
) – (9.56 x 10
2
)
42.3 – 9.56 = 32.74
32.74 x 10

Express in proper form:
3.27 x 10
