1.   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 - 7 = 18
    C. 2g + 18 = 7 D. 2g + 7 = 18
    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. 4 - y = 13
    C. 4y - 47 = 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. 3n(6) = 51;
    C. 3 + 6n = 51; 15
    D. 6n + 3 = 51; 8
    Hint

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

  5.   Translate the following into an equation: negative six times a number decreased by two is negative twenty-six.
    A. -6n = -26 – 2 B. -2 – (-6n) = -26
    C. -6n – 2 = -26 D. -6n + 2 = -26
    Hint
