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.

Is it possible for a system to have more than one solution? Explain your answer
Anastasy [175]
A linear system can have infinite solutions if both systems represent the same line. if a linear system down not represent the same line then it can only have one or no solutions. No solution is if the system is representing parallel lines and one solution represents an intersection of the two lines.  in a nonlinear system you can have infinite or up to a maximum of intersections as the highest degree of the systems.
