New carpeting can be purchased and installed for $17.50 per square yard plus a $50 delivery fee. Given that the equation for the total cost of purchasing and installing the carpet can be represented by the function c(s) = 17.50s + 50, where c is the total cost, in dollars, of purchasing s square yards of carpet. Find the inverse, and write the square yardage as a function of cost.

Well since you are asked to do an inverse equation you need to switch s and c which would be s=17.5c+50. After this you are going to make c stand alone which would be c=(s-50)/17.5 and that's your answer.
