\begin{gathered} \text{when we have two different exponents, we must find a way to get the same exponent in both numbers, so we can sum them} \\ \text{for example,} \\ 3.6*(10^6)=3.6*(10^(5+1))=3.6*10*(10^5)^{} \\ =36*10^5^{} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{ So the sum is equal to} \\ 2.3*(10^5)+36*(10^5)=38.3*(10^5)^{} \end{gathered}
