Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations, we will first solve the expression in parentheses.

We will solve the exercise vertically, making sure to align digits properly - ones under ones, tens under tens, and so on. Note that the decimal point is in place:

1.40.3 1.4\\-0.3\\

And we get the result:

1.1 1.1

Now we have the expression:

1.1×10= 1.1\times10=

The above expression doesn't need to be calculated, we simply need to move the decimal point one place to the right, since we are multiplying by ten, meaning we're adding a tens place.

Therefore, we get the result:

11 11

Answer

11 11
