Question 176199: In bowling a handicap is a change in score to adjust for
differences in players� abilities. You belong to a bowling league in which each
bowler�s handicap h is determined by his or her average a using this formula:
h = 0.9(200 - a)
(If the bowler�s average is over 200, the handicap is 0.) Find the inverse of the
function. Then find your average if your handicap is 27.

Just solve the function for a:

Divide by 0.9

Add -200 to both sides:

Multiply by -1:

Now just put 27 in place of h and do the arithmetic.
