1.   Seven more than twice a number is 18. Write an equation that could be used to find the number.
    A. 2g - 7 = 18 B. 2g + 18 = 7
    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. 4y - 13 = 47 B. 4 - y = 13
    C. 4y - 47 = 13 D. 4(y - 13) = 47
    Hint

  3.   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. 2t = 33; 16.5
    C. 2(8) + t = 33; 17
    D. 2t + 8 = 33; 12.5
    Hint

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