Answer:

f⁻¹(x) =

Explanation:

Given function,

→ f(x) = 5x - 6

We are supposed to find ths inverse of the given function. Consider the function, y = f(x).

→ y = 5x - 6

Add 6 to both sides.

→ y + 6 = 5x - 6 + 6

Solve the equation.

→ y + 6 = 5x

Division both sides by 5.

→ y + 6/5 = 5x/5

Solve the equation.

→ (y + 6)/5 = x

Can be re-written as,

→ x = (y + 6)/5

Now, recall f(x) = y, this implies x = f⁻¹(y).

→ f⁻¹(y) = (y + 6)/5

So the final answer is:

→ f⁻¹(x) = (x + 6)/5
