Solving Literal Equations

Shaun introduces the concept of solving literal equations, focusing on isolating a specific variable. He demonstrates solving the equation G = X - C + Y for X by adding C and subtracting Y from both sides. The process involves rewriting the equation to isolate X, ensuring no like terms are combined. The final solution is presented as X = G + C - Y, with a recap of the steps taken.
