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

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

  3.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve.
–25 – 3k = –7 + 3k
    A. k = 4 B. k = –6
    C. k = 1 D. k = –3
    Hint

  4.   In a bag of 53 cherry- and watermelon-flavored candies, there are 19 more watermelon than cherry candies. Write an equation to determine how many candies are cherry.
    A. If w = number of watermelon candies, w + (w + 19) = 53.
    B. If c = number of cherry candies, c + 19 = 53.
    C. If w = number of watermelon candies, w + 19 = 53.
    D. If c = number of cherry candies, c + (c + 19) = 53.
    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 = –9
    C. y = 8 D. y = –8
