Age, Consecutive Integers, Phone companies, and Tickets

Hi all! The last two days have been spent in working on word problems. We've learned at least four different kinds of set ups. What they all have in common is the steps:
1) define variables
2) write equation
3) solve equation
4) answer the question
5) check your answer for reasonableness

Tonight you have a whole bunch (12) word problems to work on. At a minimum, make sure 5 are done (with all 5 steps) but the more you can do the better:o)

Have a great day, and come in tomorrow ready to ask questions about the ones you are struggling with.

Smile!
Ms V
