    I thought the inverse was where you solve for y. So say the original was (replaced p with x, Qd with y):

    x = 80 - .25y
    x + .25y = 80
    .25y = 80 - x
    y = (80 - x)/.25 or

    Qd = (80 - P)/0.25

    I wasn't taking this class for credit so my inversing both sides works for me. :D

    If I hear "Daddy, I need help with my math homework" I'd answer with more effort.
