Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation does not actually have solutions; rather, we find the locus of points ( x, y = f(x) ) and draw a straight line through them.

It is a SYSTEM of linear equations that may or may not have solution(s).

If one equation in this system is a multiple of the other, then the two equations represent the same line and the SYSTEM has infinitely many solutions. The graphs of the two equations coincide/overlap.

Answer:

An equation can have infinitely many solutions when it should satisfy some conditions. The system of an equation has infinitely many solutions when the lines are coincident, and they have the same y-intercept. If the two lines have the same y-intercept and the slope, they are actually in the same exact line.

the size of a red blood cell is 0.000007m and that of a plant cell is 0.00001265m show that a red blood cell is half of a plant

Readme [11.4K]

ANSWER: The size of a red blood cell IS approximately half the size of a plant cell.

EXPLANATION:

1. We divide the size of the plant cell by 2 to see if half of its size is the size of a red blood cell.

$\frac{0.00001265}{2} = 0.000006325 m$

Therefore, half of a plant cell's size is 0.000006325 m.

2. We now compare the size of half of the plant cell to the size of the red blood cell.

0.000006325 m and 0.000007 m are very close in size; therefore, the size of a red blood cell IS approximately half of a plant cell.

There are 6 children total, 4 of which are girls. The ratio is 2:1 girls:boys, so there will need to be twice as many pinks as there are blues. If we get 12 pinks, then there will be 6 blues. That's the biggest since that's all the pinks the florist has.
