According to the capture hypothesis of regulation, a. regulation benefits the consumers
a. regulation benefits the consumers over producers because the number of consumers is greater than the number of producers, giving the consumers more political clout.
b.regulation favors producers over consumers because the producers were able to pay off the regulators.
c. regulation benefits the regulators and the legislators who support the regulation by enabling them to obtain favors from both producers and consumers.
d. regulation eventually favors producers over consumers because the producers have more at stake than individual consumers.

10. x = 3; AB = 11
11. x = 2; AB = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
10. AC = 10x + 2
AB = 2x + 5
BC = 4x + 9
AB + BC = AC (segment addition postulate)
(2x + 5) + (4x + 9) = 10x + 2 (substitution)
The equation above is what we would use to solve the problem as follows:
2x + 5 + 4x + 9 = 10x + 2
Combine like terms
6x + 14 = 10x + 2
6x - 10x = -14 + 2
-4x = -12
Divide both sides by -4
x = 3
AB = 2x + 5
Plug in the value of x
AB = 2(3) + 5 = 6 + 5
AB = 11
11. AB = 3x
BC = x - 6
AC = 8x - 14
AB + BC = AC (segment addition theorem)
3x + (x - 6) = 8x - 14 (substitution)
Use the equation to solve for x as follows:
3x + x - 6 = 8x - 14
Collect like terms
4x - 6 = 8x - 14
4x - 8x = 6 - 14
-4x = -8
x = 2 (dividing both sides by -4)
AB = 3x
AB = 3(2)
AB = 6
