y = 252

Explanation:

To find the value of y when z = 14 we must first find the relationship between them

The statement

y varies directly as z is written as

y = kz

where k is the constant of proportionality

when y = 180

z = 10

180 = 10k

Divide both sides by 10

k = 18

The formula for the variation is

y = 18z

When z = 14

y = 18(14)

y = 252

Hope this helps you
