The answer is 13.3 seconds.

This one is a little trickier than the last one. You still use the same equation, xf=1/2at2+Vit+xi, but with a twist. This is because initial velocity is not 0. Therefore, the Vit does not drop and you have to use the quadratic equation. This will give you two answers, a positive and a negative. Since time cannot be negative, the positive one is your answer.
