Let d represent number of days and n represent number of workers.

We have been given that when building a house, the number of days required to build varies inversely with with the number of workers.

We know that the equation y=\frac{k}{x} represents the relation where y is inversely proportional to x and k is the constant of proportionality.  

So our required equation would be d=\frac{k}{n}

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

19=\frac{k}{35}

k=19\cdot 35

k=665

Since constant of proportionality is 665, so our equation would be d=\frac{665}{n}.

To find the number of days it will take to build a similar house with 5 workers, we will substitute n=5 in our equation as:

d=\frac{665}{5}

d=133

Therefore, it will take 133 days for 5 workers to build a similar house.

inessss [21]
-3n is negative when the value of n is positive. When the value of n is negative, the value of -3n is positive. Remember that when multiplying a positive and a negative, the product will be negative. If you are multiplying two numbers with the same sign, the product will be positive.

Find f(–2) for the function f(x) = 3x^2 – 2x + 7
seraphim [82]
Replace every x in the function with a -2. 3(-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 7. Simplifying gives you 3(4) + 4 + 7. Do the math now. 12 + 4 + 7 = 23

C=.41+.26(z-1) solve for z
Ksivusya [100]

c=0.41+0.26(z-1) \\0.26(z-1)=c-0.41 \\z-1=(c-0.41)/0.26 \\\boxed{z=(c-0.41)/0.26+1}

Hope this helps.
