g(x)=2x-4 and f is the function defined such f(g(x))=x, then f(x)=

Let     f(x) ≡ Ax+B

Then f(g(x)) ≡ A(2x-4)+B ≡ 2Ax-4A+B

    2Ax-4A+B ≡ x

Therefore equating coefficients of x: 

       2A = 1
        A = 1/2

Equating constant terms:

    -4A+B = 0
-4(1/2)+B = 0
     -2+B = 0
        B = 2

Therefore f(x) ≡ Ax+B ≡ (1/2)x+2
