Create your own unique literal equation and solve for one of the variables. Show your work. Then, using complete sentences, explain how you solved for the variable you chose. (2 points)
Using complete sentences, explain how solving a literal equation is similar to or different from simplifying an expression such as 6 - 2(52 + 7) � 4. (2 points)
Using complete sentences, explain what might happen if the order of operations was used to solve a literal equation. (1 point)

Answer 1

P=2L + 2W
P-2W=2L
p/2 - W =L

Answer 2

Basically, you'll be cutting P in half and subtracting W to get L.
When P is 14 and W is 2, then L is 5
When P is 22 and W is 8, L will be 3
