How to Solve a Literal Equation
Sometimes we are given a formula such as something from geometry and we need to solve for some variable other than the standard oneFor instance the formula for the perimeter P of a square with sides of length s is P 4sWe might need to solve this equation for s because we have a lot of squares perimeters and we want to plug those perimeter values into. If you know how to solve regular equations then I guarantee you that solving literal equations will be a breeze.
