ItsVeda · Answer

Use the results from Part E and Part F to determine the year Helike disappeared. Express your answer in terms of BC or AD.

the E and F results are: the civil war ended in 1865, and the expression is -1/5w

supie · Answer

$$1/5=2$$ or $$1865 (2) = 373$$
Because it isn't negative, it's BC

So the answer would be $$373BC$$
