  1. Rewriting Formulas 7L: rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest Friday August 24th 2012

  2. So far we have studied equations that look like 2x-4=10 and 5x+17=32.

  3. The equation ax+b=c is called a literal equation because all of the coefficients have been replaced with letters.

  4. Solve the following equation for x. Now solve this literal equation for x. ax + b = c • 3x + 8 = 20

  5. Solve the following literal equations for x. • a – bx = c

  6. Solve the following literal equation twice. Solve it first for y. Now solve it for x. 4x + 3y = 12 You have written x as a function of y. • 4x + 3y = 12 You have written y as a function of x.
