If y=2x + 1/3,

x=2y + 1/3

2y=x - 1/3

y=(x - 1/3)/2

Inverse: (y=) x/2 - 1/6

If y=(2x+1)/3,

x=(2y+1)/3

3x=2y+1

2y=3x-1

Inverse: y=(3x-1)/2

Hope this helps!

Di you mean $$2x+\frac{1}{3}$$    

or do you mean   $$\frac{2x+1}{3}$$    ?   If this is what you mean then you need to use brackets.

You have found the inverse function anonymous person.  By adding the y= you have assumed that it was supposed to be an equation.  That is fair enough it didn't make sense otherwise.

Thank you for answering - we like everyone to answer questions.
