Solve (1)(-2)*180^circ/(n)=162^circ

$$\frac { ( 1 ) ( - 2 ) \times 180 ^ { \circ } } { ( n ) } = 162 ^ { \circ }$$

Solve for n

$$n = -\frac{20}{9} = -2\frac{2}{9} \approx -2.222222222$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by n.

$$1\left(-2\right)\times 180=162n$$

Multiply 1 and -2 to get -2.

$$-2\times 180=162n$$

Multiply -2 and 180 to get -360.

$$-360=162n$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$162n=-360$$

Divide both sides by 162.

$$n=\frac{-360}{162}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-360}{162} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 18.

$$n=-\frac{20}{9}$$
