Plug 27 in to the quadratic: \(27 = -6t^2+43t\).
Subtract 27 from both sides to make it a quadratic: \(0 = -6t^2+43t-27\)
Plug it in to the quadratic formula: \(t ={-43 \pm \sqrt{43^2-4\times -6 \times -27} \over 2\times -6}\)
There are 2 solutions, one at \(t\approx6.5\) seconds, and the other at \(t\approx0.7\) seconds.
We want the smaller answer, so \(\color{brown}\boxed {t \approx 0.7}\)
