Answer:
y = 192
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y varies directly as z and inversely as x then the equation relating them is
y = [tex]\frac{kx}{z}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 16 and z = 2 when x = 42
k = [tex]\frac{yx}{z}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16(42)}{2}[/tex] = 336
y = [tex]\frac{336z}{x}[/tex] ← equation of variation
When x = 14 and z = 8, then
y = [tex]\frac{336(8)}{14}[/tex] = 192
