Answer:

x = 1, y = 1 and z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation;


P^x V^y T^z = constant

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Mathematically the law is written as;


PV = constant

From the given equation, the values of x, y and z that will match this law is calculated as follows;


P^1 V^1 T^0 = constant\\\\P^1 = P\\\\V^1 = V\\\\T^0 = 1\\\\P * V * 1 = PV = constant\\\\Thus, x = 1, \ y = 1 \ \ and \ z = 0
