Answer:

f^-1(x) = 1/(5x - 3) (See explanation for alternate answer)

Explanation:

Assuming you meant f(x) = 1/(5x) + 3/5

y = 1/(5x) + 3/5

(I like to substitute x and y early on)

x = 1/(5y) + 3/5

5x = 1/y + 3

1/y = 5x - 3

f^-1(x) = 1/(5x - 3)

Assuming you meant f(x) = 1x/5 + 3/5

y = 1x/5 + 3/5

x = 1y/5 + 3/5

5x = y + 3

f^-1(x) = 5x - 3
