1.   Write an equation for the situation six less than three times a number is 15.
    A. 3a - 6 = 15 B. 3a = 15 - 6
    C. 3 - 6 = 15a D. 6a -3 = 15
    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. 4y - 47 = 13 B. 4y - 13 = 47
    C. 4 - y = 13 D. 4(y - 13) = 47
    Hint

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