Concept/skill: 
Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

Problem/activity:
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?


Answer: 
No. Completing neither of these problems requires replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other equation.

standard_description: Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
- Reporting the number of observations.
- Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.
- Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
- Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
problem_activity: Problem 1
A company hires five people for the same job for one week. The amount that each person is paid for the week is shown in the table below.
|   **           Person          **    | **           Person A          ** | **           Person B          ** | **           Person C          ** | **           Person D          ** | **           Person E          ** |
|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| **           Amount Paid          ** |               $360                |               $340                |               $300                |               $200                |               $400                |
Person D states that the payments are not fair since each person is doing the same job and brings the same set of skills to the job. Everyone agrees that they should all get paid the same amount.
How much should each person get paid so that everyone gets the same amount? Assume that the company will spend the same amount as it currently is.
Problem 2
After finding the average or fair share payment for each person, Person E decides to not take the job because they would be making less money.
a.   If Person E leaves, then what is the new average payment of persons A–D?
b.   What impact did Person E leaving have on the average payment?
Problem 3
The company asks the five people how many hours each person worked that week to complete the job. The results are shown in the table below.
|    **           Person          **    | **           Person A          ** | **           Person B          ** | **           Person C          ** | **           Person D          ** | **           Person E          ** |
|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| **           Hours worked          ** |                24                 |                28                 |                22                 |                20                 |                36                 |
What is the mean, or average, number of hours worked by a person last week?
