Yes you're right.
The way to find out if functions are inverses of each other is to check and see if their composite functions are equal to x. Also make sure the functions are one to one functions.
(fog)(x)=f(g(x))=f(3/2x-9)
f(3/2x-9)=2/3(3/2x-9)+6
=(2/3)(3/2)x+(2/3)(-9/1)+6
=x-18/3+6
=x-6+6
=x
(gof)(x)=g(f(x))=g(2/3x+6)
g(2/3x+6)=3/2(2/3x+6)-9
=(3/2)(2/3)x+(3/2)(6/1)-9
=x+18/2-9
=x+9-9
=x
Since (fog)(x)=(gof)(x)=x, you know that they are inverse functions of each other.
