It's all right there in front of you.

-- The formula for volume is   

               Volume = (one dimension) x (another dimension) x (the last dimension)

--  The dimensions are    (4),  (n + 2),  and  (n + 5).

--  The volume is  280 .

Just multiply the 3 dimensions together, then say  "  = 280 ",
and solve the equation you have  for 'n' .

Hint:

     (4) x (n + 2) x (n + 5) = 

     (4) x (n² + 7n + 10) =

           4n² + 28n + 40  =  280

Take it from there.  Find 'n' .
