Can you help with the last one? I can't figure out how it's wrong?

We solve the equation \( f(y) = x \) for \( y \) as follows.

\( f(y) = x \)

\[
\frac{4y + 5}{3y - 6} = x
\]

✔

\[
4y + 5 = x(3y - 6)
\]

\[
4y + 5 = 3xy - 6x
\]

\[
4y - 3xy = -6x - 5
\]

\[
(4 - 3x)y = -6x - 5
\]

\[
y = \frac{-6x - 5}{4 - 3x}
\]

✔

Thus, the equation of the inverse function is 

\[
x = \frac{(4y + 5)}{(3y - 6)}
\]
