1.   Write 5 less than twice the length equals 11 as an algebraic equation.
    A. - 5 = 11 B. 2 ÷ 5 = 11
    C. 5 < 2 + 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 = 62
    B. t = 63
    C. t = 59
    D. t = 61
    Hint

  3.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve.
11xx2 = 18
    A. x = 10 (18 is also a solution)
    B. x = 11 (9 is also a solution)
    C. x = 18 (11 is also a solution)
    D. x = 9 (2 is also a solution)
    Hint

  4.   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 = 6.4 D. p = 11.6
    Hint

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