Step 1: Rewrite the second number as 0.465 x 10^8 to get the exponents the same for adding in Scientific Notation.
Step 2: Multiply 0.465 by 10 to change the coefficient on the term that the exponent was changed.
Step 3: Add the coefficients. 3.71 + 0.465 = 4.175
Step 4: Keep the exponent the same. 10^5 + 10^8 = 10^8
Step 5: The final answer is 4.175 x 10^8
