Math Question Help?

(This is the only equation that I did not get correct)

The function h(a)=0.9(200−a) is used to calculate the handicap for a bowler (a bowling handicap is a percentage of the difference between your average and a basis average). In the function h(a)=0.9(200−a) , a bowler’s average a is used to determine their handicap h. How can we undo this original function to express a new function that tells us a bowler’s average a based on their handicap h.

What would be the inverse function? I tried 10 different answers. None were right.

    h = 0.9(200 - a)

    or, h = 9(200 - a)/10

    Here, we have h in terms of a

    We require a in terms of h

    so, 10h = 9(200 - a)

    Then, 200 - a = 10h/9

    or, a = 200 - (10h/9)

    Using a common denominator of 9 we can say:

    a = (1800 - 10h)/9
