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

  2.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve.
10a + 4(a + 1) = 32
    A. a = 2 B. a = 10
    C. a = 7 D. a = 4
    Hint

  3.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve.
–25 – 3k = –7 + 3k
    A. k = –6 B. k = 4
    C. k = –3 D. k = 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 = 4y – 18
    B. y – 9 = 18 – 4y
    C. y – 9 = 4y – 18
    D. y + 9 = 18 – 4y
    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 = 8 B. y = 9
    C. y = –8 D. y = –9
    Hint
