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. The difference between 4 and five times a number is -1.
    A. 4 - 5n = -1 B. 4 + 5n = -1
    C. 5n - 4 = 1 D. -5n - 4 = -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. 18 - 5n = 13; 1 B. 18 - 5n = 13; -1
    C. 5n - 18 = 13; 6 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
