Answer

$y=10^x+6$

Work Step by Step

To find the inverse of the given function, perform the following steps: (1) Interchange $x$ and $y$: $$x=\log{(y-6)}$$ (2) Write the equation in exponential form using the definition $y=\log_a{x} \longleftrightarrow a^y=x$: $$10^x=y-6$$ (3) Solve for $y$: \begin{align*} 10^x&=y-6\\\\ 10^x+6&=y \end{align*}
