1.   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. 3n(6) = 51;
    C. 3 + 6n = 51; 15
    D. 6n + 3 = 51; 8
    Hint

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

  3.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve.
8b + 17 = 41

    C. b = 3 D. b = 17
    Hint

  4.   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

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