    A. n = -130 B. n = -215
    C. n = -7 D. n = -19
    Hint

  2.   Translate the following sentence into an equation. Nine is the sum of 1 and two times a number.
    A. 1 = 9 + 2n B. 9 = 2 + n
    C. 9 = 1 + 2n D. 9 = 1(2n)
    Hint

  3.   Translate the following sentence into an equation. The difference between 4 and five times a number is -1.
    A. -5n - 4 = -1 B. 5n - 4 = 1
    C. 4 - 5n = -1 D. 4 + 5n = -1
    Hint

  4.   Translate the following sentence into an equation. Then find the number. Five times a number less than 18 is equal to 13.
    A. 5n - 18 = 13; -6 B. 5n - 18 = 13; 6
    C. 18 - 5n = 13; -1 D. 18 - 5n = 13; 1
    Hint

  5.   Translate the following sentence into an equation. Then find the number. Seven, added to two times a number, equals -3.
    A. 7 = -3 + 2n; 5 B. 7 + 2n = -3; -5
