Answer

$x=\displaystyle \frac{kyz}{\sqrt{w}}$ $y=\displaystyle \frac{x\sqrt{w}}{kz}$

Work Step by Step

$x$ varies directly as $y:\qquad x=ky$ $x$ varies directly as $z:\qquad x=kz$ $x$ varies inversely as $\sqrt{w} :\displaystyle \qquad x=\frac{k}{\sqrt{w}}$ Combined (jointly): $\displaystyle \qquad x=\frac{kyz}{\sqrt{w}}$ Solving for $y,$ (multiply both sides with $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{w}}{kz})$ $\displaystyle \frac{x\sqrt{w}}{kz}=y$
