Answer

$$-\frac{ 2wz+3y}{x^2+3w^2+z^2}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \quad x^{2} w+w^{3}+w z^{2}+3 y z=0$$ Consider $$F(x,y,z,w)=x^{2} w+w^{3}+w z^{2}+3 y z=0 $$ Then \begin{align*} F_w&= x^2+3w^2+z^2\\ F_z&= 2wz+3y \end{align*} Then \begin{align*} \frac{\partial w}{\partial z}&=-\frac{F_{z}}{F_{w}}\\ &=-\frac{ 2wz+3y}{x^2+3w^2+z^2} \end{align*}
