We are given the coordinates:
(n, 180)
(5, n)


If y varies directly as x, the equation is likely linear. The answer should be n = 30.

Why? Because the proportions of this, n / 180 must equal 5 / n.
n / 180 = 5 / n
Multiply both sides by n
n^2 / 180 = 5
Multiply by 180
n^2 = 900
Square root both sides
n = 30
