Answer:

t=0 or t=44

Explanation:

There are a few methods to do this, the most obvious being the use of the quadratic formula.

However, a quick check with a calculator or even your mind will reveal that 704 is divisible by 16. Thus we can solve this through factoring.

-16t(t-44)=0

Using the zero factor principle:

-16t=0 and so t=0

t-44=0 and so t=44

And thus we get the solution.
