Answer:

20 sides

We know that if we find the size of an exterior angle for the given regular polygon whose exterior angle is 18∘, we can find the number of sides. Where, n is the number of sides. Therefore, there are 20 sides in the given regular polygon whose exterior angle is 168∘.

Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the step

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is attached.

In order to solve this exercise, it is necessary to remember the following property:

The Multiplication property of Equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c$

In this case, the equation that Jada had is the folllowing:

$-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{x}{108}$

Jada needed to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value.

The correct procedure to solve for for "x" is to multiply both sides of the equation by 108. Then, you get:

$(108)(-\frac{4}{9})=(\frac{x}{108})(108)\\\\-48=x$

As you can notice in the picture, Jada did not multiply both sides of the equation by 108, but multiplied the left side by $-\frac{4}{9}$ <em> </em>and the right side by $-\frac{9}{4}$ .
