Find the inverse of the given function:
f(x)= 3x + 13

Step 1. Let f(x)=y, then y=3x+13. Now solve for x.

Step 2. Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation

Step 3. Divide by 3 to both sides of the equation

where g(y) is the inverse function

Step 4. ANSWER the inverse is

So check answer with following where we substitute f(x) into g(y). Then, which is true that .

I hope the above steps were helpful.
