Step-by-step explanation: Two lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal.

The slope of a line can be found by taking the coefficient of the x term in the equation of the line.

m: 11x - 33 has a slope of 11

n: 6x - 6 has a slope of 6

For two lines to be parallel, the slope of line "m" should be equal to the slope of line "n",

so we can set up the equation :

11 = 6x

To find the value of x that makes m || n, we can solve this equation for x:

x = 11/6 = 1.833

So the value of x that makes lines m and n parallel is 1.833.
