Answer:


g(x)=(x-12)/(4)

Explanation:

To find the inverse of y=4x+12, all you need to is swap x an y and then remake y the subject.

y=4x+12

Swap x and y:

x=4y+12

Solve for y:

Subtracting 12 on both sides:

x-12=4y

Dividing 4 on both sides:


(x-12)/(4)=y

So
g(x)=(x-12)/(4)

Answer:

[-12 + x]\4 = g(x)

Explanation:

  1. x = 4y + 12 [SWAP y and x]
  2. -12 + x = 4y [Move -12 to the left side of the equivalence symbol]
  3. [-12 + x]\4 = g(x) [Divide by 4]
