Literal Equations • Definition: An equation that involves two or more variables • Understanding: Use methods to isolate any particular variable. • EX: X + 3 = Y 2A + 3B = D BACK
Isolate and Like Terms • Recall that isolate means to get a term on one side of the equal sign by itself. • Also, remember that for variables to be “like terms” they must be the same letter.
Formulas • An equation that states a relationship among quantities. • They are special types of literal equations.
Common Formulas A = ½ bh P = 2l + 2w A = lw Distance = Rate • Time Celsius = 5(F – 32) C = 2πr A = πr2 9
Convert 23° Fahrenheit to Degrees Celsius. 1 -5°C equals 23°F 1
Using the formula Distance = Rate x Time or D=RT, we can solve the formula for R or T. BACK
