Answer:

Own words: Writing in scientific notation allows the equation to appear simpler and more approachable.

Explanation:

Online Definition: To write a number in scientific notation, if the given number is greater or equals to 10, the decimal point is moved to the left of the number and so, the power of 10 becomes positive. ... Writing numbers in scientific notation not only simplifies them, but also makes them easier to multiply
