-Make sure you are comfortable solving the problems we worked on in class today USING ALGEBRA, not trial and error (i.e. - sum of consecutive number problems, real world problems - Field trip to the movies problem/Snowboarding problem)
1. The sum of two consecutive positive integers is 45.a)What are the two integers?b) Solve using an algebraic equation
2. The
sum of two consecutive numbers is 87. What are the numbers? Make an equation
and solve, showing all steps.
3. The
sum of four consecutive numbers is 62.What
are the numbers? Make
an equation to solve.
4. Field Trip Problem
Movieland CinemasTM and its competitor SuperCinema offer two different packages for

of $300, plus $3 for every student coming to the film. Package
number two, at SuperCinema, charges a flat fee of only $100,
plus $4 for every student attending the film.3. Which package is the better deal, if
