A partly varies directly as B and partly varies directly as C. The qualifier "directly" is assumed because it was not stated, but it is always best to specifically state the nature of the variation, i.e. direct or inverse.
With the given initial conditions:
Solve the 2X2 system for the values of 
and 
Then substitute the now known values of and 
and the new values for A and B into:
And then solve for C.
