In this section, we will be exploring applications of linear equations with a special focus on solving formulas to find a missing variable.

In particular, you will learn how to:

• Use the distance, rate, and time formula
• Apply the steps for solving word problems to interest rate problems
• Evaluate a formula using substitution
• Solve temperature conversion problems
• Apply the steps for solving word problems to geometry problems
• Solve area, volume, and perimeter problems
• Solve a formula for a specific variable
