Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If A, B and C lies on a straight line in order, then;
AB+BC = AC
x+12+2x-4 = 26
x+2x+12-4 =26
3x+8 = 26
3x = 26-8
3x = 18
x = 18/3
x = 6
Hence the value of x is 6
It gives function: h = -16t^2 + 40
water is when height is 0 so solve for 0= -16t^2 + 40
subtract 40 from both sides: -40 = -16t^2
divide by -16: -40/-16 = t^2
simplify: 5/2 = t^2
square root both sides: 1.58 = t
