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

  2.   Three more than the product of 6 and a number is 51. Write an equation and find the number.
    A. 6 + n + 3 = 51; 42
    B. 3n(6) = 51;
    C. 3 + 6n = 51; 15
    D. 6n + 3 = 51; 8
    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 = 6.0 B. p = 6.5
    C. p = 11.6 D. p = 6.4
    Hint

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