Problem 1
The table below contains single equations in a single variable, single equations in two variables, and pairs of simultaneous equations in two variables. Check the appropriate box to show whether there is no solution, exactly 1 solution, or if there is an infinite number of solutions.

Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Description: 
Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

Answer: 
Yes. The last three rows of the table in the first problem involves solving pairs of simultaneous linear equations. The second word problem can also be represented as two simultaneous linear equations.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
problem_activity: Optional activity
This activity provides an opportunity for additional practice in solving equivalent ratio problems. Monitor for students solving the problems in different ways.
Launch
Give students 4 minutes of quiet work time and then have them discuss their solutions with a partner.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Activate or supply background knowledge about equivalent ratios describing situations that happen at the same rate which can be displayed on double number lines. Allow students to use calculators to ensure inclusive participation in the activity.
Supports accessibility for: Memory; Conceptual processing
Writing: MLR5 Co-Craft Questions.
Before asking students to solve the given question, display only Lin's, Diego's and Elena's reading rates. Invite students think of possible mathematical questions about this situation. Keep in mind students do not need to answer their created questions. Students share and revise their questions with a partner and then with the whole class. Record questions shared with the class in a public space. This helps students connect mathematical language to get into the context of the problem as they reason about the three different quantities (i.e., number of pages read, number of pages in the book, and number of days reading).
Design Principle(s): Maximize meta-awareness​
Student Facing
Lin read the first 54 pages from a 270-page book in the last 3 days.
Diego read the first 100 pages from a 325-page book in the last 4 days.
Elena read the first 160 pages from a 480-page book in the last 5 days.
If they continue to read every day at these rates, who will finish first, second, and third? Explain or show your reasoning.

The ratio of cats to dogs in a room is
\(2:3\)
. Five more cats enter the room, and then the ratio of cats to dogs is
\(9:11\)
. How many cats and dogs were in the room to begin with?

Activity Synthesis
Select students to present their solutions. Sequence solutions with diagrams first and then tables. Make sure students see connections between the different representations and ways of solving the problems.
