First let's write this out in a formulaic sense:

10^4 * (6 + 78) ÷ 7

To do this, we need to know Order of Operations (PEMDAS)

First we do parenthesis (P):

10^4 * (6 + 78) ÷ 7

10^4 * 84 ÷ 7

Next, exponents (E):

10^4 * 84 ÷ 7

(10^4 = 10 * 10 * 10 * 10)

10000 * 84 ÷ 7

Next, Multiplication and Division (MD):

10000 * 84 ÷ 7

840000 ÷ 7

120000

You are correct, j*z123. I just wanted a bit more explanation.

10 to the fourth power is 40

6+78=84

84*40=840

840/7=120

Hope this helped :)

Thankyou for catching that

10 to the fourth power is 40

6+78=84

40*84=3360

3360/7=480

Still incorrect, 10^4 is not 40.
