Solving Literal Equations December 1/2, 2011
A literal equation is any equation that has more than one variable. Most literal equations are formulas Standard form is a literal equation We used literal equations when finding Area, Volume, Perimeter, Surface area and working backwards. Literal equations
How to solve a literal equation A = b + c – h, for c Step 1 Put a box around the variable A = b + c – h Step 2 Write that variable in the box down first c = Step 3 Write what is on the other side of the equal sign c = A Step 4 Do the opposite operations of the other variables and/or numbers c = A – b + h
Example 2 • 7f + g = 5, for f • 7f + g = 5 Box • f = Write down Box • f = 5 Write down what it is equal to • f = 5 – gDo opposite operation of leftovers 7
Now you try! • d = rt, solve for r • x + y = 12, solve for y • A = ½bh, solve for h • V = lwh, solve for w • x + y + z = 12
Practice • Work in your group • You will be assigned 4 problems per group • Everyone must try one problem and be able to describe one problem • You will need to ask your group to check your answers • Ms. Dobrin will not check until you are ready to present
