They are essentially asking us to solve:

Solving this equation for x tells us that it will take around 80.1 years for the materials in the vault to reduce to 357 pounds.
Answer:
31
Step-by-step explanation:
4 squared is 16, and 5 times 3 is fifteen if you add them you get 31
Remark
The number of faces reaching out in the 3rd dimension of the pyramid = the number of edges on the base.
Givens
Number of edges (or sides on the base)= e
Number of faces = f
Formula
F = e + 1 Don't forget that the base is also a face.
I THINK the answer would be around 2/3/4 paper clips, I'm not sure. And keep in mind, I;m not responsible for any wrong answers/ invalid responses.
Answer:
3x² + 3x - 36=
(3x+12)(x-3)
x² - 3x - 28=
(x+4)(x-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
For both equations use the method called the "Cross Method". It is useful for these type of factorisation questions called "Trinomials".
