Solve the Problem $\mathrm{x}$ , and the Force Applied Varies Directly As

Solve the problem.
-A force is applied to a spring in order to compress it. The distance the spring is compressed from its natural length is denoted by $\mathrm{x}$ , and the force applied varies directly as $\mathrm{x}$ . If a force of $20 \mathrm{~N}$ compresses the spring by $0.8 \mathrm{~m}$ , then what force is required to compress the spring by $1.6 \mathrm{~m}$ ?

A) $43 \mathrm{~N}$
B) $40 \mathrm{~N}$
C) $48 \mathrm{~N}$
D) $44 \mathrm{~N}$
