[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

0.078 - (5.2 × 10^(-3)) = 7.8 × 10^(-2) - 5.2 × 10^(-3) = 7.8 × 10^(-2) - 0.052 × 10^(-2)

Since both terms have the same exponent, we can combine them as follows:

7.8 × 10^(-2) - 0.052 × 10^(-2) = (7.8 - 0.052) × 10^(-2)

= 7.748 × 10^(-2)

Hence, the answer is 7.748 × 10^(-2).
