Answer: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equations of the lines are

$y=-x-4\\3y=cx-18$

For the system of linear equation $a_1x+b_1y=c_1,a_2x+b_2y=c_2$ has no solution if

$\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}\neq \dfrac{c_1}{c_2}$

Rewrite the equations

$x+y=-4,\ cx-3y=18$

Insert the values for the no solution condition

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{c}=\dfrac{1}{-3}\\\\\Rightarrow c=-3$

Therefore, for c=-3, the system of linear equation ha no solution.

So.. both sides divided by 4.
Now u have 14/68=x/6 -5
Multiply all by 6
Now u have 84/68=x-30
21/17+510/17=x
531/17=x
X=31 4/17

Given :

A boat is being pulled into a dock with a rope attached to the boat at water level. When the boat is 12 feet from the dock, the length of the rope form the boat to the dock is 3 feet longer than twice the height of the dock above the water.

To Find :

The height of the dock.

Solution :

This will make a right angle triangle as given in link below .

Now , applying Pythagoras theorem :

$(2h+3)^2=h^2+12^2\\\\4h^2+9h+9=h^2+144\\\\h^2+4h-45=0\\\\(h-5)(h+9)=0$

Now , h = 5 or h = -9 .

Now , height cannot be negative .

So , height of the dock is 5 ft .

Hence , this is the required solution .
