This video tutorial covers solving literal equations, which are equations with more than one variable. It provides a step-by-step guide on how to solve these equations using inverse operations. The tutorial includes examples of solving for different variables, such as Y, X, and P, and applies these skills to real-world problems like temperature conversion and calculating speed and fuel economy.

What is the first step in solving a literal equation?

• Identify the operations on the variable

• Locate the variable you are asked to solve for

• Use inverse operations

• Combine like terms

In the equation 3M + 2N = 8, what is the result after isolating N?

• N = 4 - 3M/2

• N = 8/2 - 3M

• N = 8 - 3M

• N = 4 - 3M

What is the correct form of the equation after isolating P in 3P + 2A - 5 = 6A?

• P = 4A/3 + 5/3

• P = 4A + 5/3

• P = 4A - 5/3

• P = 4A/3 - 5/3
