Me and my friend are working on this problem together. We started by switching the x values with the y values:
+x+=+3+%2B+y+%2B+e%5Ey+
Then we subtracted 3 from each side:
+x-3+=+y+%2B+e%5Ey+
We tried taking the ln of each side but got really confused. Can you please help us with this problem. Thanks in advance. =)

Question 217944: Find the inverse of y = (3x) / (x-2) and state the domain of the inverse.
I have tried switching the x's for y. I get stuck at this step of the problem:
{(xy)-(2x)} / 3
I've looked online for inverse help, but nothing makes sense! Everyone just says switch the x for y.
Thanks
