[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To subtract these two numbers, we need to have them in the same form.

In scientific notation, 3.2 x 10^4 can be written as 32,000 (moving the decimal point four places to the right), and 2.56 x 10^-2 can be written as 0.0256 (moving the decimal point two places to the left).

Now we can subtract:

32,000 - 0.0256 = 31,999.9744
