We have function \(\displaystyle{f{{\left({x}\right)}}}={3}{x}-{6}\), therefore \(\displaystyle{{f}^{{-{1}}}{\left({x}\right)}}\Rightarrow{\color{\indianred}{{x}={3}{y}-{6}}}\)
We need isolate the y in \(\displaystyle{{f}^{{-{1}}}{\left({x}\right)}}\) to get the proper form of the inverse.
\(\displaystyle{x}={3}{y}-{6}\)
\(\displaystyle{x}+{6}={3}{y}\)
\(\displaystyle\frac{{x}}{{\color{red}{{3}}}}+\frac{{6}}{{\color{red}{{3}}}}=\frac{{\cancel{{{3}}}{y}}}{\cancel{{{\color{red}{{3}}}}}}\)
\(\displaystyle{y}=\frac{{1}}{{3}}{x}+{2}\)
\(\displaystyle{{f}^{{-{{1}}}}{\left({x}\right)}}=\frac{{1}}{{3}}{x}+{2}\)
