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. 6 + n + 3 = 51; 42
    C. 3 + 6n = 51; 15
    D. 3n(6) = 51;
    Hint

  3.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve.
8b + 17 = 41
    A. b = 18 B. b = 17
    C. b = 1 D. b = 3
    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 = 5.5
    B. n = 8.5
    C. n = 9
    D. n = 2
    Hint

  5.   Which equation would it be easiest to solve using the guess-check-and-improve method?
    A. 19 = 53 + 31y
    B. (10 – y) × y = 77
    C.
    D. 36 · (5y + 20) = 146
    Hint
