4f^{-1}=3x-5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
4\times \frac{1}{f}=3x-5
Reorder the terms.
4\times 1=3xf+f\left(-5\right)
Variable f cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by f.
4=3xf+f\left(-5\right)
Multiply 4 and 1 to get 4.
3xf+f\left(-5\right)=4
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(3x-5\right)f=4
Combine all terms containing f.
\frac{\left(3x-5\right)f}{3x-5}=\frac{4}{3x-5}
Divide both sides by 3x-5.
f=\frac{4}{3x-5}
Dividing by 3x-5 undoes the multiplication by 3x-5.
f=\frac{4}{3x-5}\text{, }f\neq 0
Variable f cannot be equal to 0.
4f^{-1}=3x-5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
3x-5=4f^{-1}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3x=4f^{-1}+5
Add 5 to both sides.
3x=5+4\times \frac{1}{f}
Reorder the terms.
3xf=f\times 5+4\times 1
Multiply both sides of the equation by f.
3xf=f\times 5+4
Multiply 4 and 1 to get 4.
3fx=5f+4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3fx}{3f}=\frac{5f+4}{3f}
Divide both sides by 3f.
x=\frac{5f+4}{3f}
Dividing by 3f undoes the multiplication by 3f.
x=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{4}{3f}
Divide 5f+4 by 3f.
