Answer:

y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies jointly as x and z then the equation relating them is

y = kxz ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 5 when x = 3 and z = 4

5 = k × 3 × 4 = 12k ( divide both sides by 12 )

[tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] = k

y = [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] xz ← equation of variation

When x = 6 and z = 8 , then

y = [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] × 6 × 8 = [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] × 48 = 5 × 4 = 20
