It takes them 45 minutes if they start at the same time, but adding them together it would be an hour.
36
It is going up by odd numbers.
So the next term would be 24+12=36

Since parallel lines never cross, then there can be no intersection; that is, for a system of equations that graphs as parallel lines, there can be no solution. This is called an "inconsistent" system of equations, and it has no solution.

That's right. If a system of equations has a solution, then their graphs intersect, and the point where they intersect is the solution because it's the point that satisfies each equation in the system.
Straight-line graphs with the same slope are parallel lines, and they never intersect, which is another way of saying they have no solution.
