1. **State the problem:** Find the inverse of the function $f(x) = 2x - 3$.
2. **Formula and rule:** To find the inverse function $f^{-1}(x)$, swap $x$ and $y$ in the equation and solve for $y$.
3. **Step-by-step:**
- Start with $y = 2x - 3$.
- Swap $x$ and $y$: $x = 2y - 3$.
- Solve for $y$:
$$x + 3 = 2y$$
$$y = \frac{x + 3}{2}$$
4. **Conclusion:** The inverse function is
$$f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 3}{2}$$.
This means to reverse the effect of $f(x)$, add 3 to the input and then divide by 2.
