Consider two cells (assume they are both spheres): a prokaryotic cell with a diameter of 2 micrometers and a eukaryotic cell with a diameter of 20 micrometers. what is the relationship of the surface to volume (s/v) ratios of these two cells?

showing a photograph would make this a hell of alot easier

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
