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?


Concept/skill: 
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 is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Know and apply the Binomial Theorem for the expansion of (x + y)^(n )in powers of x and y for a positive integer n, where x and y are any numbers, with coefficients determined for example by Pascal’s Triangle. (The Binomial Theorem can be proved by mathematical induction or by a combinatorial argument.)
problem_activity: Task
For this task, the letter $i$ denotes the imaginary unit, that is, $i=\sqrt{-1}$.
For each integer $k$ from 0 to 8, write $i^k$ in the form $a+bi$.
Describe the pattern you observe, and algebraically prove your observation.  In particular, simplify $i^{195}$.
Write each of the following expression in the form $a+bi$:
$i^2 + i + 1$
$i^3 + i^2 + i +1$
$i^4 + i^3 + i^2 + i +1$
$i^5 + i^4 + i^3 + i^2 + i +1$
$i^6 + i^5 + i^4 + i^3 + i^2 + i +1$
$i^7 + i^6 + i^5 + i^4 + i^3 + i^2 + i +1$
$i^8 + i^7 + i^6 + i^5 + i^4 + i^3 + i^2 + i +1$
Describe the pattern you observe, and algebraically prove your observation.  In particular, compute
$$
i^{195}+i^{194}+\cdots+i^2+i+1.
