A certain number was multiplied by 7.4 was then taken away from the product. Finally that difference was then divided by 9, resulting in 5. Find the initial number.

Aball is thrown from a height of 139 feet with an initial downward velocity of 15 ft/s. the ball's height h (in feet) after t seconds is given by the following. h=139-15t-16t^2 how long after the ball is thrown does it hit the ground? round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth. (if there is more than one answer, use the "or" button.) t =
