well

#

f(x) you can even rewrite as y

#

so just do y=(21-6x)/5

#

then swap y and x

#

so its

#

x=(21-6y)/5

#

then rearrange for y

did you get it

# sharp sparrow still

so an inverse function can simply be found by
first replacing f(x) with y
for example f(x)=3x+5 turns into y=3x+5

#

now replace all instances of x with y and vice versa

#

to get

#

x=3y+5

#

and you need to isolate y

#

so here i would move the 5 over

#

x-5=3y

#

finally divide 3 getting

#

$\frac x3-\frac53 = y$
