Answer: The value of x is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:-
Scientific notation is defined as the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.
For example : 5000 is written as [tex]5.0\times 10^3[/tex]
As we are given that the value is 28,500,000
This number is written in scientific notation as : [tex]2.85\times 10^{7}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x comes out to be 7.
