The focus of the parabola $y^2 = 4x + 16$ is the centre of the circle $C$ of radius $5$. If the values of $\lambda$,for which $C$ passes through the point of intersection of the lines $3x - y = 0$ and $x + \lambda y = 4$,are $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ (where $\lambda_1 < \lambda_2$),then $12\lambda_1 + 29\lambda_2$ is equal to . . . . . . .
