Literal equation

A literal equation is one that uses variable names to represent numerical values.

Any equation that has no numbers is a literal equation.

E = mc²

We use literal equations as formulas for length, area, volume, and relations between chemical and engineering properties.

P = 2(L+W) . . . . perimeter of a rectangle with length L and width W

V = I·R . . . . voltage in a circuit with current I and resistance R

PV = nRT . . . . ideal gas law relating pressure, volume, temperature, and quantity of gas
