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.

R.4 solving literal equations
Literal Equation an equation with two or more different variables. Helpful hint: sounds like letteral has multiple letters!
Solve for the indicated variable, treating the others like numbers. Example: A = bh (b)
P = 2L + 2W (W)
Solve for the indicated variable: I = Prt (P) A = x + y (x) 2
Solve for y. 2y + 5x = 6
Solve for x. y = 3x - 4
Solve for y. 12 = 6x + 3y
