They are not, because inverse means multiply by -1, therefore, there should be a positive sign in front of 2 and a negative in front of x for G(x) = x - 2
You can use a tangent:

We have opposite = 17 and adjacent = x.

substitute:
cross multiply
multiply both sides by √3

divide both sides by 3

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

Other method.
triangle.
The sides are in the ratio 
Therefore

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
24 = 2L + 2(6), multiply...
24 = 2L + 12, subtract 12 to both sides...
12 = 2L, divide 2 to both sides to isolate the varibale L
6 = L
Therefroe, L = 6
