1. **State the problem:** Find the inverse of the function $g(x) = \frac{3x+1}{5x+3}$.
2. **Formula and rules:** To find the inverse function $g^{-1}(x)$, we swap $x$ and $y$ and solve for $y$. The original function is $y = \frac{3x+1}{5x+3}$.
3. **Swap variables:** Replace $g(x)$ with $y$ and swap $x$ and $y$:
$$x = \frac{3y+1}{5y+3}$$
4. **Solve for $y$:** Multiply both sides by the denominator to clear the fraction:
$$x(5y+3) = 3y + 1$$
5. **Distribute $x$:**
$$5xy + 3x = 3y + 1$$
6. **Group $y$ terms on one side:**
$$5xy - 3y = 1 - 3x$$
7. **Factor out $y$:**
$$y(5x - 3) = 1 - 3x$$
8. **Divide both sides by $(5x - 3)$:**
$$y = \frac{1 - 3x}{5x - 3}$$
9. **Show cancellation step:**
$$y = \frac{\cancel{1 - 3x}}{\cancel{5x - 3}}$$ (No common factors to cancel, so expression remains the same.)
10. **Final answer:**
$$g^{-1}(x) = \frac{1 - 3x}{5x - 3}$$
This is the inverse function of $g(x)$.
