1e+Literal+Equations+and+Formulas

** [This process of solving a formula for a given variable is called "solving literal equations". One of the dictionary definitions of "literal" is "related to or being comprised of letters", and variables are sometimes referred to as literals. So "solving literal equations" seems to be another way of saying "taking an equation with lots of letters, and solving for one letter in particular."]   From purple math: To solve for literal equations, you need to get a certain variable by itself. To do this, you must separate the variable you are solving for, from the other variables grouped with it. If the variable is grouped with another by multiplication, use division to eliminate the other variable. if it is grouped by addition, use subtraction.
