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

  2.   Find a solution to the equation using backtracking.
    A. c = 2 B. c = –14
    C. c = 8 D. c = –1
    Hint

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

  4.   Find a solution to the equation by doing the same thing to both sides.
8p + 14 = 2p – 22
    A. p = 1 B. p = –1
    C. p = 6 D. p = –6
    Hint

  5.   Julian said, ''I'm thinking of a number. When I add 3 to my number, multiply the sum by 12, divide the product by 8, and subtract the result by 7, I get 11. What is the number I'm thinking of?''
