Solving Literal Equations Challenge

What is a literal equation?

• An equation with only numbers

• An equation with no variables

• An equation with more than one variable

• An equation with only one variable

In the first example, what is the first step to isolate X?

• Multiply by 2

• Add 7

• Subtract 7

• Divide by 2

When isolating X in the literal equation, why can't we combine C and B?

• They are both variables

• They are both constants

• They are already combined

• They are not like terms

What is the final value of X in the numerical example?

• 6.5

• 5.5

• 6

• 5

What is the final expression for X in the literal example?

• C - B

• C - B / a

• (C - B) / a

• C - B * a

What should you not forget when bringing down the negative T?

• The positive sign

• The coefficient

• The variable

• The negative sign

How do you make T positive in the equation -T = S - 3N?

• Multiply or divide by -1

• Subtract 1 from both sides

• Multiply or divide by 1

• Add 1 to both sides

What is the final expression for T?

• S - 3N

• S + 3N

• -S + 3N

• -S - 3N

What is the first step to isolate Y in the equation 4XY = 5Z - 3?

• Divide by 4X

• Multiply by 4X

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Add 3 to both sides

What is the final expression for Y?

• (5Z + 3) / 4X

• 5Z / 4X

• (5Z - 3) / 4X

• 5Z - 3
