A literal equation is an equation that is comprised mostly or entirely of variables. The area of a triangle, for example, is expressed by the following literal equation.
A=21bh
Here, b represents the length of the base and h represents the height of the triangle. Therefore, formulas can be seen as literal equations. Using the Properties of Equality, a literal equation can be solved for a variable, which means isolating the variable on one side of the equation.
