Answer:
z = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The question can be answered in 2 steps as follows:
Step 1: Calculation of the constant of the variation
The equation for the joint variation can be given as follows:
z = cxy ................... (1)
Where;
z = 60
c = constant = ?
x = 5
y = 6
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve c, we have:
60 = c * 5 * 6
60 = c * 30
c = 60 / 30
c = 2
Step 2: find z when x = 7 and y = 3
Since from Step 1 c = 2, we now use equation (1) and substitute the values into it to find z as follows:
z = 2 * 7 * 3
z = 42
Should be equal to. sorry if its incorrect, but that's what i would go with.
For the first one it is x=1 the second one X=8
