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

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

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

  4.   Translate the following into an equation:
10 more than three times a number is 100.
    A. 10 – 3n = 100 B. 3n – 10 = 100
    C. 100 + 10 = 3n D. 3n + 10 = 100
    Hint

  5.   Translate the following into an equation: negative seven increased by the quotient of a number and 17 is zero.
    A. -7 + 17n = 0 B.
    C. D.
