One interior angle of a convex polygon (a convex polygon is a polygon where all anglesare less than 180 degrees) is 120 degrees. All the other angles are 130 degrees. How many sides does the polygon have?

Let \(x\) be the number of sides in the polygon.

 

Using what we are given, we get the equation \(120+130(x-1)=180(x-2)\).

 

Expanding, we have \(120+130x-130=180x-360\). Then, by moving all the terms to the left and combining like terms, the equation turns into \(-50x+350=0\).

 

Therefore, the polygon has \(\fbox{7}\) sides.
