Literal equations are equations that have more than one variable. They're common in fields as diverse as nursing and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). The solution to a literal equation is a literal expression. It's common to rewrite this expression into alternative forms so in the first part of this section you'll practice this skill. In the second part of this section you'll practice using the two-column table to solve literal equations. This material is covered on pages 357 through 364 in the Engaging Algebra textbook.
7.7 Literal Equations
After practicing with this section you'll be able to solve a literal equation using a two-column table and, if needed, use algebra to rewrite your solution.
