1.   Find a solution to the equation using backtracking.
    A. s = 24 B. s = 18
    C. s = 21 D. s = 15
    Hint

  2.   Find a solution to the equation using backtracking.
    A. x = 9 B. x = 8
    C. x = 10 D. x = 11
    Hint

  3.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve.
    A. n = 6 B. n = 2
    C. n = 7 D. n = 1
    Hint

  4.   Nine more than a number is the same as 18 less than 4 times the same number. Write an equation that models this statement.
    A. y – 9 = 18 – 4y
    B. y + 9 = 18 – 4y
    C. y – 9 = 4y – 18
    D. y + 9 = 4y – 18
    Hint

  5.   Nine more than a number is the same as 18 less than 4 times the same number. What is the number?
    A. y = 9 B. y = –8
    C. y = –9 D. y = 8
    Hint
