Show answers and working
1. -7
Replace x with -1: 5 × (-1) − 2. = -7
2. -7
Replace x with -2: 3 × (-2) − 1. = -7
3. 14
Replace x with 3: 3 × 3 + 5. = 14
4. 17
Replace x with 2: 6 × 2 + 5. = 17
5. -8
Replace x with -4: 3 × (-4) + 4. = -8
6. -12
Replace x with -1: 6 × (-1) − 6. = -12
7. 22
Replace x with 4: 6 × 4 − 2. = 22
8. -3
Replace x with -3: 3 × (-3) + 6. = -3
9. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 5) / 6
Write y = 6x + 5 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 5) / 6.
10. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 3) / 6
Write y = 6x − 3 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 3) / 6.
11. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 6) / 6
Write y = 6x + 6 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 6) / 6.
12. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 6) / 4
Write y = 4x − 6 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 6) / 4.
Worked examples

Common mistakes
What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.
Reads f(3) as f × 3.
Correction: f(3) means 'put 3 into the rule'.
Reverses operations in the wrong order for the inverse.
Correction: Undo the last step first.
Teacher tips
- · Use function machines before notation.
Parent tips
- · Play 'guess my rule' with numbers.
Real-life applications
- · Converting temperatures, phone-plan costs.
