To simplify this expression you just need to modify one of the terms so it has the same power of ten as the other. I find it easier to lower a power than raise it so we'll use the fact that 1011=100×109. Then
9.5×(1011)+6.3×109

=9.5×100×(109)+6.3×109

=950×(109)+6.3×109

=(950+6.3)×109

=956.3×109
Note that if your course has recently covered maintaining significant figures, then you'll need to round this to the tens place. Hence your answer will instead be 950×109=9.5×1011
