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

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

  4.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve. Give the solution to the nearest tenth.
n + 5 = 3(n - 2)
    A. n = 9
    B. n = 8.5
    C. n = 5.5
    D. n = 2
    Hint

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