Answer:
it depends on what he means
Step-by-step explanation:
The friend needs to clarify the meaning of "if three lines intersect each other." If Line A intersects lines B and C, there will be two points of intersection, one at line B and one at line C.
If those lines are all in the same plane, and B and C are not parallel, so that line B intersects line C, then there will be a total of three points of intersection.
If the point of intersection of B and C is also the point where line A intersects them, then there will be only one point of intersection.

So, if the meaning is "if there are three non-parallel lines in the same plane, and each intersects the other two", then the Line Intersection Postulate guarantees there will be 1 or 3 points of intersection.
If the meaning is "if there are three lines not necessarily in the same plane, and one intersects the other two (but those two don't intersect each other)", then there may be 1 or 2 points of intersection (allowing that all lines may intersect at the same point).
3x+2(4x-4)=3 - remove parentheses
3x+ 8x-8=3 - collect like terms
11x- 8 =3 - move the constant to the right
11x=3+8 - calculate
11x = 11 - divide both sides by 11
x= 1

Step-by-step explanation:
Branson and his sister Beatrice combined their allowance of $7 each. This means that the total amount they had is 7 + 7 = $14
They bought a movie for $12. The amount that they have left is
14 - 12 = $2
They bought $1 containers of fruit salad with the remaining money and split the containers evenly between them. This means that the number of containers that they bought is
2/1 = 2
If they split the containers evenly between themselves, then each person would get
2/2 = 1 container of fruit salad
