Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a bit unclear to me, what that problem description means.

if I understand it correctly, than z is directly depending on x².

so, z = 16 for x = 2. x² = 4

I pondered a little bit, as there are several possibilities to connect 16 with 4 as a driving factor (e.g. 2⁴ = 16, 4×4 = 16, 12 + 4 = 16).

I decided to go with the simplest interpretation with the usual meaning of "varies" (multiplication) : 4×x²

that would mean

z = 4×x² = 4×5² = 4×25 = 100
