This material was prepared to help students understand the algebraic process involved in solving mixture problems. The paper copy is designed to be used with a 25-minute audiotape. Students are given a problem which is solved step by step; then they are to answer questions about each step. (MNS)

Presented are two problems that can be solved using a computer simulation by students who have completed Algebra II. The distance and bisector formulas and the various forms of the equations of a circle and straight line are the topics. Computer program listings are included. (MNS)
