Unit 1 – Lesson 6 Aim: How do we solve literal equations? • Do Now: 5x + 2 = 2x + 14 Name NSCHS9/23/14 Algebra
A literal equation is an equation that contains two different variables. • 5x + 7y = 12 • 13r + 2c = 90 Literal Equations
Literal Equations Isolatethe target variable by movingother variables and constants to the other side.
**Reminder** 3x+ 5 = 15
Example 1Solve for x ax + b = c
Example 2Solve for h A = ½ bh
Example 3 V = HWL
Do Now: P= 2L + 2W
