Answer:

-7

Explanation:

The decimal 0.000000675 can be written as 6.75 x 10^-7 in scientific notation. To write a decimal in scientific notation, you need to count how many decimal places the decimal needs to be moved in order to get a number with 2 decimals after it (if that makes sense). In this case, you need to move the decimal point 7 places to the right, so the value of x is -7. The x value is negative if you need to move the decimal to the right and positive if you need to move the decimal to the left.
