Solving Literal Equations
Example 1: C + J = H ; solve for J
1) All you do is move the C to the same side as H. Just like a linear equation, just without the numbers.
J = H - C
Example 1: C + J = H ; solve for J
1) All you do is move the C to the same side as H. Just like a linear equation, just without the numbers.
J = H - C
Example 2 : R - H = JP ; solve
for P
1) This is no harder than the first example. When you need to move a variable and it is being multiplied, all you do is divid it from both sides.
R - H/J = P
