Answer:
_____________________________
       The problem is that the "volume" of cube is equal to the length of one of its sides, "cubed" ;  that is,  "V = s³ " .    

A cube with with sides that measure 5 cm has the following volume:
_____________________________________________________
         " V  =  (5 cm)³  =  5 * 5 * 5 * cm³  =  125 cm³ " ;
 _____________________________________________________
The volume of cube with sides that measure "10 cm" 
      (which is, in fact, has "side lengths that are TWICE the value of  "5 cm" ; gets "cubed" — as opposed to getting multiplied by "2"). 
_____________________________________________________
    So, V = (10 cm)³ = 10 * 10 * 10 * cm³ = 1000 cm³ .
______________________________________________________
When we deal with "volume increases";  we are dealing with "three-dimensional objects",  with values of "cubic units" .  And in a cube, with all side lengths being equal, an increase in side length will result in an "exponential" increase in volume.
________________________________________________
So;  (10 cm)³   ≠  2* (5 cm)³.

What is the solution of the following system of equations ? y- 2x and= 6 , y - 4x =0
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

x=3 and y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

y-2x=6     equation:1

y-4x=0     equation:2

Solving equation:1 for 'y' in terms of x

y=6+2x      equation:3

Putting 'y' in equation:2 which will make the equation of the single variable

y-4x=0

6+2x-4x=0\\-2x=-6\\x=3

Putting value of 'x' in equation:3 to find 'y'

y=6+2x

y=6+2(3)\\y=6+6\\y=12
