Answer:
y = (1)/(4)x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of an equation, follow these steps:

  1. Replace every f(x) or y with x, and every x with y.
  2. Solve the equation for y

We are given the equation
f(x) = 4x + 12 , so replace f(x) with x.

Then, replace x with y.

Your new equation:


x = 4y + 12

Now, solve for y:


x = 4y + 12\\\\4y = x - 12\\\\y = (1)/(4)x-3

This equation is the inverse of f(x), or g(x).
