1.   Find a solution to the equation using backtracking.
8b – 5 = 19
    A. b = 2 B. b = 3
    C. b = –2 D. b = –3
    Hint

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

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

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

  5.   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 = 4y – 18
    C. y – 9 = 18 – 4y
    D. y + 9 = 18 – 4y
    Hint
