FAN AND MEDAL WILL BE AWARDED <3 Yet another simple question I just do not understand :( (Ignore the marked answer once more)

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Inverse right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I believe so

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

First what you have to do is switch the y and x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But there is no "y" :o

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

So f(x)=7x-13 becomes ------> x=7y-13 Now just solve fir y again

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

f(x) is another way of saying y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh right ! I forgot !

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yup, and that's all you have to do :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you :) But I'm a little stumped on how to solve the equation .. Do I add 13 to both sides ?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yup, and then divide :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what it should look like now , right ? 13x = 7 ? Because that's not what any of the options look like D:

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You can't combine the x and 13, they're not like terms
