The answer is x=4.
set the equations up: 8x-5=6x-3
Subtract 6x from one side and then the other side 2x-5=3
Add 5 from one side and then the other 2x=8
Divide 2 on each side which gets you x=4
F(x)=2x+4/3
Replace f(x) by y:
y=2x+4/3
Solving for x:
y-4/3=2x+4/3-4/3
Subtracting the two terms on the left side of the equation:
(3y-4)/3=2x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
[(3y-4)/3]/2=2x/2
[(3y-4)/3]*(1/2)=x
[(3y-4)*1]/[(3)*(2)]=x
(3y-4)/6=x
x=(3y-4)/6
Replace "x" by "f^(-1) (x)" (inverse function) and "y" by "x":
f^(-1) (x) = (3x-4)/6 Inverse function
Then, for x=6
f^(-1) (6) = [ 3(6)-4]/6
f^(-1) (6) = (18-4)/6
f^(-1) (6)= 14/6
f^(-1) (6) = 7/3

15x+40=-47+27
15x+40=-20
15x=-60
X=-4
