1.   Translate the following sentence into an equation. Two less than nine times a number is -2.
    A. -9n - 2 = -2 B. 9n + 2 = -2
    C. 9n - 2 = 2 D. 9n - 2 = -2
    Hint

  2.   Translate the following sentence into an equation. The quotient of a number and -2, less 10, is -18.
    A. 10 - = -18 B. - 10 = -18
    C. = -18 - 10 D. - 18 = -10
    Hint

  3.   Translate the following sentence into an equation. Nine is the sum of 1 and two times a number.
    A. 9 = 2 + n B. 9 = 1 + 2n
    C. 9 = 1(2n) D. 1 = 9 + 2n
    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. 18 - 5n = 13; -1
    C. 18 - 5n = 13; 1 D. 5n - 18 = 13; -6
    Hint

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