Let "a number" = x

4x + 6 = 50 is your equation

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

Subtract 6 from both sides

4x + 6 (-6) = 50 (-6)

4x = 44

Divide 4 from both sides

4x/4 = 44/4

x = 44/4

x = 11

11 is your answer for the number

hope this helps

This is how you do it. You just solve for x.

as you already know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables, and then solve for "y".

$\bf \textit{Logarithm Cancellation Rules} \\\\ log_a a^x = x\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{a^{log_a x}=x} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\log_2(x+1)\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{\underline{x}=\log_2(\underline{y}+1)}\implies 2^x=2^{\log_2({y}+1)} \\\\\\ 2^x=y+1\implies 2^x-1=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 2^2-1=f^{-1}(2)\implies 3=f^{-1}(2)$
