When Vlad moved to his new home a few years ago, there was a young oak tree in his backyard. He measured it once a year and found that it grew by 26 centimeters per year. 4.5 years after he moved into the house, the tree was 292 centimeters tall.

How tall was the tree when Vlad moved into the house?
How many years passed from the time Vlad moved in until the tree was 357 centimeters tall?
