### Inverse Function Calculation Example

Consider the function defined as follows:

\[ f(x) = 2x + 14 \]

We are tasked with finding the inverse of this function, denoted by \( f^{-1}(x) \). In order to find the inverse, we need to perform the following steps:

1. **Start with the original equation:**

\[ y = 2x + 14 \]

2. **Swap \( x \) and \( y \) to begin solving for the inverse:**

\[ x = 2y + 14 \]

3. **Solve this new equation for \( y \):**

\[ x - 14 = 2y \]

\[ y = \frac{x - 14}{2} \]

Thus, the inverse function is:

\[ f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 14}{2} \]

#### Input Field for Verification
