Answer:

Explanation:

Consider what y values you are getting by letting x = 5 and then letting x = 6.

when x = 5 , y = 20

y = m*5

20 = m*5 Divide by 5

20/5 = m/5

4 = m

when x = 6 y = 24

y = mx

24 = m*6 Divide by 6

24/6 = m

m = 4

So now we can be sure of our solution for x when y = 32

y = m*n

32 = 4*n Divide both sides by 4

32/4 = 4*n/4

n = 8

Answer: n = 8
