Partial Derivatives & the Gradient · Medium problem

Near certain points, the equation x2+yz−xz=8x^{2} + yz - xz = 8 defines zz implicitly as a function of xx and yy. On the cross-section y=3y = 3, there are two points where ∂z∂x=0\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} = 0. Find zz at the one with the smaller xx.
