standard_description: Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation. For example, in a problem involving motion at constant speed, list and graph ordered pairs of distances and times, and write the equation d = 65t to represent the relationship between distance and time.
problem_activity: Task
Sadie computes the perimeter of a rectangle by adding the length, $l$, and width, $w$, and doubling this sum. Eric computes the perimeter of a rectangle by doubling the length, $l$, doubling the width, $w$, and adding the doubled amounts.
Write an expression for Sadie’s way of calculating the perimeter. Write an expression for Eric’s way as well.
Use both of the expressions to find the perimeter of a rectangle with length 30 and width 75.
Explain why Sadie and Eric always get the same answer, no matter what the length and width of the rectangle are.
