For the first Listing Exercise:
(NOT A)
1. 5x + 65 = 5(x + 13) because if you apply distributive property to the one from List B, it would equal the same as List A's answer.
2. 5(x + 1) = 5x + 5 because if you apply distributive property to the equation from List A, it would equal the same as the one from List B.
3. 1 + 5x = 5x + 1 because this is simple commutative property.. switching the placements.
