Answer:

y = 72

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 = 12 when x = 4 and z = 3

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

1 = k

y = xz ← equation of variation

When x = 9 and z = 8 , then

y = 9 × 8 = 72
