Did you realise Book Creator could be used in the mathematics classroom? It can! Here are some great examples.

A literal equation is an equation that consists of mostly variables.

Numbers and/or coefficients can be included in the equation.

1. ax+b=c

1. Figure out what variable you need to isolate. 2. Cancel the other variables from one side to the other ( Use inverse operations). 3. Make sure whatever you do to one side you do to the other.

1.Multiplication and division. 2.Addition and subtraction. 3.Squaring and taking a square root

1. x =&nbsp;-h +-w + m 2. x =&nbsp;g - l + e 3. x =&nbsp;l - e - r 4. x =&nbsp;-k + b -r 5. x =&nbsp;-o - u + y 6. x =&nbsp;m - p + c 7. x =&nbsp;b - f + h 8. x =&nbsp;t - k - r 9. x =&nbsp;g - j + i 10. x =&nbsp;-o + e - s 11. x =&nbsp;-k + v + t 12. x =&nbsp;z - b - f + m 13. x =&nbsp;h + p - r + a 14. x =&nbsp;e - r + w + d - s

Here are some subtraction and addition problems you can try!!!

1. -w+m-x=h 2. l-e+x=g 3. x+e+r=l 4. b-x-r=k 5. -x-u+y=o

6. p-c+x=m 7. x+f-h=b 8. k+x+r=t 9. j-i+x=g 10. -x+e-s=o 11. v+t-x=k 12. b+f-m+x=z 13. x-p+r-a=h 14. x+r-w-d+s=e

Literal equations can be used for a lot of things such as finding the area of a rectangle, the circumference of a circle, and the distance of something.

For example, the formula for finding the area of a rectangle is:
