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.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to compare decimals using the context of distance. Students should have access to hundredths grids, if they choose to use them. Monitor for students who compare the decimals using
place value reasoning to compare the 1 tenth for Diego's throw with the 1 hundredth for Jada's throw
hundredths grids for the decimal part of the throws
number lines, recalling work from a previous course
When students decide to compare the decimals using number lines or hundredths grids, they are using appropriate tools strategically (MP5).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Encourage students to begin partner discussions by reading their written responses aloud. If time allows, invite students to revise or add to their responses based on the conversation that follows.

“Have you ever thrown a frisbee?”
Poll the class.
“A frisbee is a disc. In the Olympics, there is an event called the discus throw. Participants try to throw a metal disc as far as they can.”
Activity
2 minutes: independent work time
5 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who use reasoning named in the activity narrative.
Student Facing
Diego and Jada were competing to see who could throw the frisbee further. Diego threw the frisbee 5.10 meters. Jada threw the frisbee 5.01 meters.
Who threw the frisbee further?
Be prepared to explain your thinking.
[IMG]
Tyler and Han were competing to see who could swim the length of the pool faster. Tyler swam the length of the pool in 35.15 seconds. Han swam the length of the pool in 35.30 seconds. Who swam the length of the pool faster? Be prepared to explain your thinking.

Activity Synthesis
Ask previously selected students to share their solutions.
“Both problems are about comparing decimals. How are the problems different?” (The units are different in the two problems. One is meters and the other is seconds. In one problem, the winner has the greater number and in the other problem, the winner has the lesser number.)
