Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 20 = 4
add 20 to both sides
3x - 20 + 20 = 4 + 20
3x = 24
divide both sides by 3
= 
x = 8
Given t = time and h = height

From the equation.

h is the axis od symmetry
(h, k) is the vertex.
In the equation, h is 1 and k is 16.
So the maximum value is 16 at t = 1.
The ball reaches maximum at 16 and it takes t = 1 to reach the maximum point.
