Literal Equations
Solve for X
S = 4x
S/4 = x
Solve for D
m=Dv
m/v = D
Solve for y
36 = byx
bx/36 = y
solve for y
Wz = 32y
Wz/32=y
solve for t
xW = Rtg
xW/Rg = t
Solve for X
y=3x+5
y-5/3 = X
Solve for X
y = 9x - 2
y + 2 / 9 = X
Solve for Y
2y + 4x = 6
y = -2x + 3
Solve for Y
3y - 9 = 12x
y = 4x + 3
Solve for X
y = mx + b
y - b / m = x
Solve for N
m = 2 (x + n)
m - 2x / 2 = n
Solve for Z
R = 5 (2e - z)
R - 10e / -5 = z
solve for Q
5x = 3 (2 + 4Q)
5x / 12 - 1/2 (or 0.5) = Q
Solve for P
R = P (12 - 2) + 5
R / 15 = P
Solve for L
M = 4 (3 + x) -1/L
M + 4x + 12 = L
What is ONE example of when a literal equation is used?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?
Calculating:
Speed
Distance
Volume
temperature change
At least how many terms are used in a literal equation
2
Is the following equation literal?
5x + 3 (4 + 8) - 2 = 6 - 7 (1 + 3x)
no
Can a literal equation contain 4 variables
yes
True or False
When solving literal equations you're solving for all the variables in the equation
FALSE
Solve for F
C = (5/9)(F - 32)
F = (9/5) C + 32.
Solve for h
T = 2R (R + h)
(T/2R) - R = h
Solove for C
F = 9C / 5 + 32
5 (F - 32) / 9 = C
Solve for W
SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
SA - 2lh / (2l + 2h) = w
Solve for m
E = mc2
√E / c = m
