1. To find $$ f^{-1}(x) $$ for $$ f(x)=2x+5 $$, start by letting
   $$
   y = 2x + 5.
   $$
2. Solve for $$ x $$ in terms of $$ y $$:
   $$
   y - 5 = 2x \implies x = \frac{y-5}{2}.
   $$
3. Swap $$ x $$ and $$ y $$ to obtain the inverse function:
   $$
   f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-5}{2}.
   $$

4. Verify the inverse by showing $$ f(f^{-1}(x)) = x $$:
   $$
   f(f^{-1}(x)) = f\left(\frac{x-5}{2}\right) = 2\left(\frac{x-5}{2}\right) + 5 = (x-5) + 5 = x.
   $$

5. Since the inverse function holds for all $$ x $$, the correct choice is:

**B.** $$ f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-5}{2} $$, for all $$ x $$.
$$ f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 5}{2} $$
