1.   Write an equation for the situation six less than three times a number is 15.
    A. 6a -3 = 15 B. 3a - 6 = 15
    C. 3a = 15 - 6 D. 3 - 6 = 15a
    Hint

  2.   Seven more than twice a number is 18. Write an equation that could be used to find the number.
    A. 2g + 18 = 7 B. 2g - 18 = 7
    C. 2g + 7 = 18 D. 2g - 7 = 18
    Hint

  3.   Write an equation to find a number if the difference between four times the number and 13 is 47.
    A. 4 - y = 13 B. 4(y - 13) = 47
    C. 4y - 47 = 13 D. 4y - 13 = 47
    Hint

  4.   The sum of twice a number and 8 is 33. Write an equation and then solve for the number.
    A. 2t + 33 = 8; -12.5
    B. 2(8) + t = 33; 17
    C. 2t = 33; 16.5
    D. 2t + 8 = 33; 12.5
    Hint

  5.   Three more than the product of 6 and a number is 51. Write an equation and find the number.
    A. 6n + 3 = 51; 8
    B. 3 + 6n = 51; 15
    C. 6 + n + 3 = 51; 42
    D. 3n(6) = 51;
    Hint
