Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that z varies directly with y and x then the equation relating them is
z = kxy ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition x = 6, y = 12 and z = 10
k = [tex]\frac{z}{xy}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{12(6)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{72}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{36}[/tex], hence
z = [tex]\frac{5}{36}[/tex] xy ← equation of variation
