An algebraic identity
like (a+b)(a-b)=a2-b2
Formula
An identity is a special type of literal equation. It is true for all values of the variable.
Literal equation refers to an equation in which the variables represent known values. This type of equation allows the representation of things like distance, interest, time, and slope as variables in an equation.

The literal rule interprets statutes based on the plain, ordinary meaning of the words used, applying them strictly as written, regardless of the consequences. In contrast, the golden rule allows for a more flexible interpretation, permitting deviations from the literal meaning to avoid absurd or unjust outcomes. While the literal rule emphasizes textual clarity, the golden rule seeks to balance clarity with fairness in legal interpretation. Thus, the golden rule acts as a corrective mechanism to the potential rigidity of the literal rule.
The literal coefficient is always the "letter" in the term. Therefore in this equation the "Literal Coefficient is "Y"
write a rule as an equation
A literal equation is an equation where variables represent known values. Literal equations allow us to represent things such as distance, time and interest as variables in the equation.. Using variables instead of words is a 'time saver'. For example d=rt. Meaning distance = rate and time
An equation with two or more variables is called a polynomial. It can also be a literal equation.
Literal Equation
if you solve by plugging in the known values ahead of time you won't have a general formula for the variable in the literal equation. Therefor if the known values change, you would have to start all over again, making each problem more individualized. Once the literal equation is solved for some variable, if the known values change all you have to do is plug in those new numbers to your literal equation, and out pops your answer
