    4.4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    X is inversely proportional to y, so x = k/y where k is just a constant.

    X is directly proportional to z squared, so x = kz^2 where k is a constant

    Here, The second relationship doesn't even matter.

    Plug the values for x and y into the first equation and solve for k.

    5.5=k/4

    k=5.5*4

    k=22

    Now plug k and the second y back in.

    x=22/5

    x=4.4
