#x = \frac{6^y}{36}#

Explanation:

Start with #y = log_6(x) + 2#

#\therefore y-2 = log_6(x)# (subtracted #2# to both sides)

#\therefore 6^(y-2) = x# (considered both sides as exponents of #6#, and used the fact that #6^{log_6(x)}=x#)

So this is the inverse. If you prefer, you may rewrite it as

#6^(y-2) = 6^y\cdot 6^{-2} = 6^y\cdot 1/6^{2} = 6^y/36#
