If log\(_{10}\) x = \(\bar{2}.3675\) and log\(_{10}\) y = \(\bar{2}.9738\), what is the value of x + y, correct lo three significant figures?
A
O.117
B
0.118
C
0.903
D
O.944
E
0.946
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
log\(_{10}\) x = \(\bar{2}.3675\) => x = 0.023
log\(_{10}\) y = \(\bar{2}.9738\) => y = 0.094
x + y = 0.117
