To solve a literal equation means to express one variable with respect to the other variables in the equation. The most important part of a literal equation is to isolate or keep by itself a certain variable on one side of the variable (either left or right) and the rest on the other side

Solving multistep equations takes more time and more operations compared to solving a literal equation.
