To convert the number 28,500,000 to scientific notation:
1. Move the decimal point to create the coefficient: 2.8500000.
2. You move the decimal point 7 places to the left to get from 28,500,000 to 2.85.
Thus, you write it in scientific notation as:
\[ 2.85 \times 10^7 \]
So, the value of \( x \) in the scientific notation \( 2.85 \times 10^x \) is:
**x = 7**.
