how do you solve for x if the number of sides of the polygon is given by n = (16x + 383)/180.

Answer 1

To solve for x in the equation n = (16x + 383)/180, we must isolate x by first multiplying both sides by 180 to get rid of the denominator:

180n = 16x + 383.

Next, we can subtract 383 from both sides to isolate the term with x:

180n - 383 = 16x.

Then, divide both sides by 16 to solve for x:

x = (180n - 383) / 16.

Therefore, x is equal to (180n - 383) divided by 16.
