<p>(3 + 10^n) + (5 + 10^4) = (5.03 + 10^4)</p>
<p>What is n?</p>
<p>Please help, how can this monster killed off?</p>
<p>Are you sure that its a positive in all of them? Because, the answer would be a lot more clear. </p>
<p>Besides, Is this an SAT Question?</p>
<p>Did not say all positive or negative?!
And yes, it is, IT......................IS! INSANE!!!!</p>
<p>I have a feeling those addition signs are multiplication symbols instead...so...
(3 x 10^n) = .03 x 10^4
.03 x 10^4 = 300, so 300 = 3 x 10^n, n= 2.</p>
<p>This is most likely not an SAT question, scientific notation? I don't think so.</p>
<p>EDIT: if they are addition signs...
8 + 10^4 + 10^n = 5.03 + 10^4
8 + 10^n = 5.03
10^n = -2.97
n = log -2.97, which is imaginary...no real solutions for n.
This would be even more improbable than a scientific notation one</p>
<p>Yeah See. Echelon32.. thats exactly what i was thinking..</p>
<p>i wasnt worried about the positive or negative.. but rather worried if there is a multiplication sign in place of the positive....</p>
