you mean like a composite function, f(f(x))
OpenStudy (zarkon):
\[f(x)=\frac{5x + 3}{4x-5}\]
\[f(f(x))=\frac{5\left(\frac{5x + 3}{4x-5}\right) + 3}{4\left(\frac{5x + 3}{4x-5}\right)-5}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (dumbcow):
In general
\[f(f^{-1}(x)) = x\]
this is a special case where
\[f^{-1}(x) = f(x)\]
