This document defines a literal equation as an equation with two or more different variables. It provides examples of literal equations such as A = bh, where b is solved for, and P = 2L + 2W, where W is solved for. The document demonstrates how to solve various literal equations for the indicated variable, such as solving for P in I = Prt, solving for x in A = x + y^2, and solving for x and y in two additional equations.
