1.   Write 7 more than w is 25 as an algebraic equation.
    A. w – 7 = 25 B. w + 7 = 25
    C. 7w = 25 D. 7 = 25 + w
    Hint

  2.   Write 5 less than twice the length equals 11 as an algebraic equation.
    A. - 5 = 11 B. 2 ÷ 5 = 11
    C. 5 < 2 + 11 D. 2 - 5 = 11
    Hint

  3.   A music club is offering unlimited CDs for $6.00 each. There is also a $5.00 shipping cost. If m = the number of CDs, which equation can you use to determine how many CDs you can buy with $35.00?
    A. 6m + 5 = 35 B. 6m = 35
    C. 5 + 6 = 35m D. 5m + 6 = 35
    Hint

  4.   Write The product of 7 and b is 56 as an algebraic equation.
    A. 7b = 56 B. 7 + b = 56
    C. 7 ? 56 = b D. 7b + 56
    Hint

  5.   For membership to a certain labor union, it costs $150 to join and $28 per month of membership. You want to become part of the labor union and you still need to join. Write an equation to figure out how many months it will be before the total cost is $290.
    A. 150 + 28m = 290 B. 290 = 150m + 28
    C. 28 + 290m = 150 D. 150 = 290 + 28m
