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: Use special triangles to determine geometrically the values of sine, cosine, tangent for π/3, π/4 and π/6, and use the unit circle to express the values of sine, cosines, and tangent for π–x, π+x, and 2π–x in terms of their values for x, where x is any real number.
problem_activity: A random group of 6th and 8th grade students at a school are asked the question: Do you prefer to complete your homework on a computer or on paper?
Of the 56 sixth graders, 18 answered computer and 38 answered paper.
Of the 60 eighth graders, 52 answered computer and 8 answered paper.
a.   Create a two-way table to represent the data. Label your rows as 6th graders and 8th graders.
b.   What is the proportion, of all of the students, who are in 8th grade and prefer to complete their homework on a computer?
c.   Of the students who prefer to complete their homework on paper, what proportion are in 6th grade?
d.   A student is selected at random from either the 6th or 8th grade at this school. What do you predict is this student's  preferred method of completing their homework? Explain your reasoning.
