Megoldás. $\displaystyle \alpha(n)= (n-2)\cdot \frac{180^\circ}{n}$, ezért a feltételt í­gy írhatjuk fel ($\displaystyle n\ge 3$):

$\displaystyle (n+1)\cdot \frac{180^\circ}{n+3}-(n-2)\cdot \frac{180^\circ}{n}=(n-2)\cdot \frac{180^\circ}{n}-(n-4)\cdot \frac{180^\circ}{n-2}.$

$\displaystyle 180^\circ$-kal való egyszerűsí­tés és rendezés után $\displaystyle \displaystyle{\frac{n+1}{n+3}+\frac{n-4}{n-2}=\frac{2(n-2)}{n}}$, majd $\displaystyle n(n^2-n-2+n^2-n-12)=2(n-2)(n^2+n-6)$, amiből $\displaystyle -14n=-16n+24$, ahonnan $\displaystyle n=12$.
