Factoring the common factor (n-3) from the terms on the left side, that left-side expression becomes
(2n^2-4)(n-3)
We presume your missing factor is
(2n^2-4)
2xy^2 + 8y => 2y ( xy +4)
A pyramid always have a number of slant triangles equal to the number of the sides of the base.
This means that a pyramid always have the number of face which is one more than the number of sides of the base.
Therefore, given that a pyramid has n number of sides of the base, the expression for the number of faces of the pyramid is given by
number of faces = n + 1.
The correct answer is Choice A.
This is an example of an exponential equation, so we need the formula

.
The a value is the starting value of 100. The b value must be a decimal lower than 1 because it is decreases.
If you substitute in 8 for x, you will see that the output is about 50 (half of 100).
