To subtract numbers in scientific notation, the exponents must be the same. Therefore, we need to convert one of the numbers so that the exponent matches. Let's convert 3.2x10^4 to scientific notation with an exponent of 6:

3.2x10^4 = 3.2x10^4 x 10^2 = 3.2x10^6

Now that the exponents match, we can subtract the numbers:

1.95x10^6 - 3.2x10^6 = (1.95 - 3.2)x10^6 = -1.25x10^6

Apologies for not showing the work earlier. Here is the detailed calculation:

3.2 x 10^4 - 1.95 x 10^6

To subtract these numbers, we need to make sure the exponents are the same. Let's convert 3.2 x 10^4 to scientific notation with an exponent of 6:

3.2 x 10^4 = 3.2 x 10^4 x 10^2 = 3.2 x 10^6

Now, the exponents match, and we can subtract the numbers:

3.2 x 10^6 - 1.95 x 10^6 = (3.2 - 1.95) x 10^6 = 1.25 x 10^6

Therefore, the result of subtracting these numbers in scientific notation is 1.25 x 10^6.
