sure it's possible
12*8999 = 107988
+ 80,000,000 = 80,107,988
80,107,988 - 3,000,000,000 = -2,919,892,012
I did it the good ol'fashioned pencil and paper way.
Most calculators do not go beyond 10 digits of display, so you would know how to use scientific notation. But you still would not get the entire sequence of digits
What is 12x8999? pluss 80000000 and subract 3 billion?
Is that possible?

Yes, it's possible, but you'll have a negative number.
Try it yourself.
Try it yourself.
12 * 8999 = 12 * (9000 -1)
= 108,000 - 12
= 107,988
=1.07988 * 10^5
8*10^7
= 800 * 10^5
-3 * 10^9 = -30,000 *10^5
so what you have is:
(1.07988 + 800 - 30,000)*10^5
=-29198.92012 * 10^5
=-2,919,892,012
= 108,000 - 12
= 107,988
=1.07988 * 10^5
8*10^7
= 800 * 10^5
-3 * 10^9 = -30,000 *10^5
so what you have is:
(1.07988 + 800 - 30,000)*10^5
=-29198.92012 * 10^5
=-2,919,892,012
That way I could do it with the calculator :)
so whah? What is the A?
Please read the above carefully. Both Reiny and Damon gave you the answer.
