Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
b(a + 1) + a = b*a + b + a = ab + b + a
1) b(2a +1 ) = b*2a + b*1 = 2ab + b Not equivalent.
2)a + (a +1)*b = a + ab+ b Equivalent
3) (a +1)(b+ a) = a*(b +a) + 1*(b+a) = ab+ a² +b + a Not equivalent.
4) (a + 1)b + a = ab+ b + a Equivalent
5) a + b(a+1) = a +ab + b Equivalent
6) a + (a +1) + b = a + a + 1 + b = 2a + 1 +b Not equivalent.
7) a(b +1) + b = ab + a + b Equivalent
The Distributive Property is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.
The Distributive Property tells us that we can remove the parentheses if the term that the polynomial is being multiplied by is distributed to, or multiplied with each term inside the parentheses.
If a number outside the parentheses has a negative sign then the first and simplest way is to change each positive or negative sign of the terms that were inside the parentheses. Negative or minus signs become positive or plus signs. Similarly, positive or plus signs become negative or minus signs.

Answer:
Option 3: 
Graph C
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the solution of 

(multiplication property of equality)
Divide both sides by -1. Since we are dividing by a negative number, the sign would change

This means that the possible values of x are 8 and any number above 8.
Graphing this, the arrow of directed line would start at 8 and move towards our right hand.
Thus, the graph would be graph C in option C.
