Answer

$x=\displaystyle \frac{kz^{1/3}}{y}$ $y=\displaystyle \frac{kz^{1/3}}{x}$

Work Step by Step

(cube root of z =$ \sqrt[3]{z}=z^{1/3})$ $x$ varies directly as $z^{1/3}:\qquad x=kz^{1/3}$ $x$ varies inversely as $y :\displaystyle \qquad x=\frac{k}{y}$ Combined (jointly): $\displaystyle \qquad x=\frac{kz^{1/3}}{y}$ Solving for $y,$ multiplpy both sides by y (get it out of the denominator) $xy=kz^{1/3}\qquad/\div x$ $y=\displaystyle \frac{kz^{1/3}}{x}$
