1.   Write 5 less than twice the length equals 11 as an algebraic equation.
    A. 5 < 2 + 11 B. 2 ÷ 5 = 11
    C. 2 - 5 = 11 D. - 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. 3 + 6n = 51; 15
    C. 3n(6) = 51;
    D. 6n + 3 = 51; 8
    Hint

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

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

  5.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve. Give the solution to the nearest tenth.
k · (18 + k) = 67.84
    A. k = 13.2
    B. k = 9.8
    C. k = 3.2
    D. k = 13.5
    Hint
