1.   Write an equation for ''5 times a number increased by 30 is –65.'' Then solve.
    A. n = -19 B. n = -215
    C. n = -7 D. n = -130
    Hint

  2.   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

  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. 1 = 9 + 2n D. 9 = 1(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. 5n - 18 = 13; -6 D. 18 - 5n = 13; -1
    Hint

  5.   Li’s cell phone service costs her $9.95 per month plus 5 cents per call. If Li’s bill after one month is $12, how many calls did she make? Find an equation representing the situation. Then solve the equation.
    A. 9.95 + 0.5c = 12; 41 B. 9.95 + 0.5c = 12; 4
    C. 9.95 + 0.05c = 12; 4 D. 9.95 + 0.05c = 12; 41
