Problem/activity:
You’re mixing ingredients for cookies. The recipe says to combine 6 tablespoons, or ¾ stick, of butter with 1 cup of sugar. You accidentally mix in a whole stick of butter (8 tablespoons) with the cup of sugar. How can you fix this?


Concept/skill: 
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

Answer: 
No. Usually problems that teach recognizing and representing proportional relationships between quantities involve deciding whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship or identifying the constant of proportionality, and then representing proportional relationships by equations or explaining proportional relationship using coordinate graphs.

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Consider the equation
$${ {|x|=5}}$$
.
This can be thought of as a system of equations, where
$${f(x)=\left | x \right |}$$
$${{g(x)}=5}$$
and
$${f(x)={g(x)}}$$
Graph
$${f(x) }$$
and
$${g(x)}$$
in the coordinate plane. Based on the graph, what are the solutions to
$${|x|=5}$$
?
Problem 2
For each absolute value equation below, answer the questions that follow.
$${|x|=-4}$$
$${ |x|=0}$$
$${ |x|=4}$$
How many solutions are there for
$$x$$
in each equation?
Thinking of each equation as two equal functions (similar to Anchor Problem #1), what does each one look like in the coordinate plane? Where do you see the solution(s)?
Problem 3
Solve each absolute value equation algebraically and verify the solution graphically.
$${|x+2|=8}$$
$${|x|+2=8}$$
$${|x+2|+1=0}$$
