5(n + 4) + 9n = (5n + 20 = 9n
= 5n + (20 + 9n)
= 5n + (9n + 20)
= (5n + 9n) + 20
= (5 + 9)n + 20

Question 415948: This is the only inverse-related section, so, here goes:
Find the inverse function of Y = (exp)3(sqrt)2x+1
I get that you turn f(x) into Y, and replace the X with Y, and vice versa; then move the (exp)3 onto the Y to get rid of the square root. So, it then becomes:
X^3 = 2Y+1
After that, I'm lost. If I subtract the 1, it becomes X^3-1 = 2Y, but, I can't divide by 2 because there needs to be an X in the denominator.
