12x +3y = 12
y = -4x +5

We can convert the first equation to the same form as the second (y=mx+b, or slope-intercept).

12x +3y = 12
3y = -12x +12
y = -4x +4

Comparing the simplified first equation y = -4x +4 to the second equation y = -4x + 5, we see that both have the same slope (m = -4), but different y-intercepts (b = 4, b = 5). This means they are parallel lines, or an inconsistent system. There are no solutions.

Vilka [71]

It is required to find the highest altitude (in meters) .

For the given quadratic function ⇒⇒ A(t) = −(t − 11)² + 115
From the attached figure which represents the graph of the given function
the maximum will be at point (11,115)

So, the highest altitude (in meters) = 115 meter

and it will reach it at t = 11 seconds
