    Hint

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

  4.   Find a solution to the equation using guess-check-and-improve.

    C. n = 2 D. n = 6
    Hint

  5.   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 c = number of cherry candies, c + 19 = 53.
    B. If c = number of cherry candies, c + (c + 19) = 53.
    C. If w = number of watermelon candies, w + (w + 19) = 53.
    D. If w = number of watermelon candies, w + 19 = 53.
