Answer 2

For this case we have that if "y" varies directly with "x", we can propose:

$y = kx$

Where "k" represents the constant of proportionality.

According to the data:

$180 = kn\\n = k5$

We substitute the second equation in the first:

$180 = k * k5\\180 = 5k ^ 2\\k ^ 2 = \frac {180} {5}\\k ^ 2 = 36$

We apply root:

$k = \pm \sqrt {36}\\k = \pm6$

If k = 6, then$n = 6 * 5 = 30$

Answer:

$n = 30$
