Module 1 Lesson 2
A Literal Equation is an equation with two or
more variables.•You can "rewrite" a literal equation to isolate any one of the variables using inverse operations.
•When you rewrite literal equations, you may have to divide by a variable or variable expression.
Step 1 Locate the variable you are asked to
solvefor in the equation.
Step 2 Identify the operations on this
variable and the order in which they are applied.
Step 3 Use inverse operations to undo
operationsand isolate the variable.
A. Solve x + y = 15 for x.x + y = 15 Since y is added to x, subtract y
from both sides to undo the addition.
–y –yx = –y + 15
B. Solve pq = x for q. pq = _x_ p p
Since q is multiplied by p, divide both sides by p to undo the multiplication.
Solve 5 – b = 2t for t.5 – b = 2t Locate t in the equation.
Since t is multiplied by 2, divide both sides by 2 to undo the multiplication.
Solve for the indicated variable.

3. 2x + 7y = 14 for y
4.
P = R – C for C
for m
5. for C
for h
1. H = 3V
A
2. y = 14 – 2x

3. C = R – P
4. m = x(k – 6 )
5. C = Rt + S
Locate d in the equation.
The formula C = d gives the circumference of a circle C in terms of diameter d. The circumference of a bowl is 18 inches. What is the bowl's diameter? Leave the symbol in your answer.
Now use this formula and the information given in the problem.
Since d is multiplied by , divide both sides by to undo the multiplication.
Now use this formula and the information given in the problem.
The bowl's diameter is inches.
The formula C = d gives the circumference of a circle C in terms of diameter d. The circumference of a bowl is 18 inches. What is the bowl's diameter? Leave the symbol in your answer.
Every Real Number is either rational or irrational.
We refer to these sets as subsets of the real numbers, meaning that all elements in each subset are also elements in the set of real numbers.

Property Addition Multiplication
Commutative a + b = b + a ab = ba
Associative (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) (ab)c = a(bc)
Identity a + 0 = a a * 1 = a
Inverse a + (-a) = 0 a * 1/a = 1
Distributive a(b + c) = ab + ac
Rules:Commutative Property of
Addition
a+b = b+a
Commutative Property of Multiplication
ab = ba
It doesn’t matter how you swap addition or multiplication around…the answer
will be the same!
Samples:Commutative Property of
Addition
1+2 = 2+1
Commutative Property of Multiplication
(2x3) = (3x2)
Rules:Associative Property of
Addition
(a+b)+c = a+(b+c)
Associative Property of Multiplication
(ab)c = a(bc)
It doesn’t matter how you group (associate) addition or multiplication…
the answer will be the same!
Samples:Associative Property of
Addition
(1+2)+3 = 1+(2+3)
Associative Property of Multiplication
(2x3)4 = 2(3x4)
Rules:Identity Property of Addition
a+0 = a
Identity Property of Multiplication
a(1) = a
Samples:Identity Property of
Addition
3+0=3
Identity Property of Multiplication
2(1)=2
What can you add to a number & get the same number back? ZERO
What can you multiply a number by and get the number back? ONE
Rules:Inverse Property of Addition
a+(-a) = 0
Inverse Property of Multiplication
a(1/a) = 1
Samples:Inverse Property of
Addition
3+(-3)=0
Inverse Property of Multiplication
2(1/2)=1
Think opposites! The Inverse property uses the inverse operation to get to the identity!
Rule:a(b+c) = ab+bc
Samples:4(3+2)=4(3)+4(2)=12+8=20
• 2(x+3) = 2x + 6• -(3+x) = -3 - x
You can distribute the coefficient through the parenthesis with multiplication and remove the
parenthesis.
1. 6 + 8 = 8 + 62. 5 + (2 + 8) = (5 + 2) + 83. 12 + 0 =124. 5(2 + 9) = (5 2) + (5 9)5. 4 (8 2) = (4 8) 26. 5/9 9/5 = 17. 5 24 = 24 58. 18 + -18 = 0 9. -34 1 = -34

All real numbers have closure.
The Closure property states the if a and b
are real numbers then: • a + b is a real number• ab is a real number.
So, if you add two rational numbers, your sum
will be rational. Also, if you add two irrational
numbers, that sum will be irrational.
