I need help with algebra ll hmwrk

okay what about it ?what's the statement ?
Find the inverse
f(x) is same as y so replace f(x) with y \[\huge\rm\color{ReD}{ y}=\frac{ -12-2\color{blue}{x} }{ 3 }\] to find inverse(f^{-1}(x)) `switch x and y` \[\huge\rm\color{blue}{ x}=\frac{ -12-2\color{red}{y} }{ 3 }\] now solve for y
im stuck lol
alright its okay what u got so fr
Hows that lol
i have no idea what did you type into the calculator ??......
The problem you showed me
there isn't any radical in my comment not even exponent what are you talking about ? o.O

i put the x= one into wolf fram
do you know how to solve that equation for y ?
first we nee to get rid of the denominator at right side so multiply both sides by 3
substitute y for f(x) then solve x in terms of y then switch x and y and then replace the y with f^-1(x)
yes right so how would you solve x in terms of y ?
\[\huge\rm\color{blue}{ x}=\frac{ -12-2\color{red}{y} }{ 3 }\] first multiply both sides by 3
ok so 3x-12 or
\[\huge\rm\color{green}{3}·\color{blue}{ x}=\frac{ -12-2\color{red}{y} }{\cancel{ 3} }·\color{green}{\cancel{3}}\] multiply both sides by 3 at right side 3 cancels out then u get \[\huge\rm 3x=-12-2y\] now move the -12 at left side how would you do that would add ,subtract,multiply or divide 12 both sides ?
multiply
hmm no it's `-12 -2y` -12 is subtracting with -2y so you should apply the opposite of `subtraction` which is addition so add 12 both sides
ok add negative 12 to both or positive
it's negative 12 at right side so what is opposite of negative ?
positive
yes so to cancel out -12 you should add
yea
