Literal equations, simply put, are equations containing two or more variables. Your goal is to solve for just one variable with respect to others. If you know how to solve regular equations, then I guarantee you that solving literal equations will be a breeze.

The "heart" of literal equation is to isolate or keep by itself a certain variable on one side of the equation (either left or right) and the rest on the opposite side.
