Answer:

43/7

(x - 6)^-1 + 6

Explanation:

inverse of 13 is such u that

u [+] 13 = 7

so

13u - 6(u + 13) + 42 = 7

7u - 78 + 42 = 7

7u - 36 = 7

7u = 43

u = 43/7

We could also simply do

[-]13 = -1[*]13 = (13-6)^-1 + 6 = 1/7 + 6 = 43/7

We see that the second method is much easier.

[-]x = -1[*]x = (x - 6)^-1 + 6
