ya is correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

they are basically asking you to solve \(3(x+2) - 4=2\)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when you `solve for the inverse function`, you swap x and y, then solve for y so when you plug x = 2 into the inverse, you are really plugging in y = 2 into the original

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

did you solve \(3(x+2) - 4 = 2\) for x?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Let's check your answer 3(x+2) - 4 = 2 3(8+2) - 4 = 2 ... replace x with 8 3(10) - 4 = 2 30 - 4 = 2 26 = 2 ... this equation is false, so x = 8 is not the solution

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

scroll back up. I explain how you actually replace y with 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

f(x) = 3(x+2) - 4 is the same as y = 3(x+2) - 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y = f(x)

I think is y=mx-b

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep x = 0 makes 2 = 3(x+2) - 4 true

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no problem
