This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: In each of the equations below, rewrite the equation, solving for the indicated variable If $F$ denotes a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and $C$ is ...

This task asks students to use inverse operations to solve the equations for the unknown variable, or for the designated variable if there is more than one. Two of the equations are of physical significance and are examples of Ohm's Law and Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.

Students will explore literal equations using pictures/images to represent variables.  Students use inverse operations and properties of equality to solve for the specified image.

Solving literal equations for a specified variable Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.
