Simple lever calculation- help with giving it notations

[Robbie E Sayers]

TL;DR

Substituting the long sentences (which denote a variable) for more recognised, much shorter notations in mechanical engineering.

My course has a module in mechanical engineering. The handout i was given for this one is:

Effort = (Load x Load to fulcrum distance) / Effort to fulcrum distance

my problem is memorising the formula, I am not used to formulas that use sentences to denote a variable. I am simply here to ask for recognised and much shorter notations in mechanical engineering so that i can substitute these sentences for so I can remember it.
