Answer:
You showed the right work and got the right answer!
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since B is in the middle of A and C, AB + BC = AC
So,
2x - 11 + 8 = x + 3
x - 3 = 3
x = 6
Alright, so the unknown value here we want to know is the price of one roll of TP. Let's call it "x".
36x=14.99
Divide both sides by 36 to get the price of a single roll.
x=.41638888....
We have to round this to hundredths because we're talking in cents, so...
x=.42
Each roll of toilet paper costs 42 cents.

Answer: A) intersecting</h3>
-----------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Solve the first equation for y
x+y = ab
y = -x+ab
y = -1x + ab
slope = -1, y intercept = ab
-----------
Solve for y in the second equation
bx - y = a
bx - y - a = 0
bx-a = y
y = bx - a
Slope = b, y intercept = -a
-----------
The first equation has a slope of -1. The second equation has a slope of b.
Since b cannot equal -1, this means the two equations have different slopes. It is impossible for these two lines to be parallel, because parallel lines have equal slopes. The different slope values tell us the lines cross at exactly one point.
