\bold{Answer:} \small\boxed{21e-42}

Explanation:


To\ solve\ : \ 9e-6(-2e+7)

we first must use the distributive property. You can think about solving this like this:


=9e-(6)(-2e+7)

Notice how we are not distributing -6, but only 6. Now we can solve normally:


=9e-(-12e+42)

Now we distribute the '-' sign to the terms in parenthesis.


=9e+12e-42


\longrightarrow \large\boxed{21e-42}

The decimal form is 15.08 rounded.
