The temperature of the metal after five hours is mathematically given as

c(x) + h(x) =26. Option B.

What will be the temperature of the metal after five hours?

Generally, the equation for the statement is  mathematically given as

c(x) + h(x) = (0.5)^{x-10} - x - 1

Therefore

c(x) + h(x) = (0.5)^{5-10} - 5 - 1

c(x) + h(x) = (0.5)^{5-10} - 6

c(x) + h(x) =26

In conclusion,  c(x) + h(x) =26
