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: 
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.

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: Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). For example, the expressions y + y + y and 3y are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number y stands for.
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Write two equivalent expressions to represent the total area of the rectangle shown. Justify that your two expressions are equivalent.

b.   Expand the expression below using a rectangular array.
$${\frac{1}{3}(9x-12y-18)}$$
Problem 2
a.   What could be the missing dimensions of the rectangular array? Which set of dimensions uses the greatest common factor of the two terms?
[IMG]
b.   Factor the expression below using a rectangular array. Use the greatest common factor as the representation of the width.
$${24d-8e+6}$$
Problem 3
The table below includes expressions that are written in expanded form and in factored form. Complete the table. Use rectangular arrays as needed.
