    if x^2=y^3, for what value of z does x^{3z}= y^9

    y^9 = y^3 * y^3, so if we square the right side, we must square the left side for equivalence:
    x^2 * x^2 = x^4

    Therefore,
    x^4 = y^9

    Going back to our problem, x^{3z}= y^9, so 3z = 4

    Divide each side by 3 to isolate z, and we have:
    3z/3 = 4/3
    z = 4/3
