Answer:

y= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators:

2/y +3 = 3/3y + 9

(3y+9) (y+3) (2/y+3) = (3y +9) (3/3y+9)

Simplify:

6 + 1 8 = 3 + 9

Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation:

6y +18 =3y +9

6y+18 -18 =3y +9 -18

Simplify Again:

6y +3y-9

Subtract 3y from both sides of the equation:

6y =3y -9

6y-3y = 3y -9 -3y

Answer:

y= -3

When building a house, the number of days required to build varies inversely with with the number of workers. One house was buil

Helga [31]

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.
