what is 0.0000686 in scientific notation

It is a very little number so the index will be negative.

You want just one non zero digit in front of the point so the number part will be 6.86

You had to jump the point over 4 zeros and the 6 to get it to its new position.  That is 5 jumps altogether.  So the power will be 5 BUT remember it is negative!

\(0.0000686=6.86\times 10^{-5}\)

= 5x + (5*3)/5 -3

= 5x + 15/3 -3

= 5x + 5 - 3 = 5x + 2

Each ticket costs  $5214/66 tickets

So SEVEN tickets would cost:

5214/66   x  7  = $ 553

Hi Omi67 :)

Sorry!

Maybe you are missing brackets? The answer is h=0

The easiest way to start it is to multiply both sides by 5.

This gives you 10h+1=20h+1

 3^20=9^10=81^5

Now if you multiply 2 numbers together that both and in 1 then the last digit must be 1.   

That is what they wanted you to say :)
