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

  2.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve.
t · (t + 8) = 4,473
    A. t = 63
    B. t = 62
    C. t = 59
    D. t = 61
    Hint

  3.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve. Give the solution to the nearest tenth.
8p – 22 = 30
    A. p = 11.6 B. p = 6.4
    C. p = 6.5 D. p = 6.0
    Hint

  4.   Which equation would it be easiest to solve using the backtracking method?
    A. B. r2 + r = 15
    C. D. r · (4 – r) = 32
    Hint

  5.   Which equation would it be easiest to solve using the guess-check-and-improve method?
    A. 19 = 53 + 31y
    B.
    C. 36 · (5y + 20) = 146
