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