1.   Find a solution to the equation using backtracking.
    A. n = 10 B. n = –12
    C. n = –100 D. n = –89
    Hint

  2.   Find a solution to the equation by doing the same thing to both sides.
3 – 6m = 5 – 7m
    A. m = 0 B. m = 2
    C. m = –2 D. m = –5
    Hint

  3.   Find a solution to the equation by doing the same thing to both sides.
3(5f + 7) + 9(f + 4) = 9
    A. f = –2 B. f = –10
    C. f = –9 D. f = –12
    Hint
