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.
8b + 17 = 41
    A. b = 18 B. b = 1
    C. b = 17 D. b = 3
    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 = 6.4 B. p = 6.5
    C. p = 6.0 D. p = 11.6
    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 = 2
    C. n = 8.5
    D. n = 5.5
    Hint

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