You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm not sure what is meant by \"show proof\", I'm going to solve it and tell you which property I used and then check it by substitution. I hope that's what you need.
\n" ); document.write( "5x+8+3x-x+5=6x-3
\n" ); document.write( "5x+3x-x+8+5=6x-3 Commutative Property of addition
\n" ); document.write( "(5x+3x-x)+(8+5)=6x-3 Associative property of addition
\n" ); document.write( "(5+3-1)x+(8+5)=6x-3 distributive propty
\n" ); document.write( "7x+13=6x-3 Simplification
\n" ); document.write( "-6x+7x+13=-6x+6x-3 Additive inverse
\n" ); document.write( "(-6+7)x+13=(-6+6)x-3 Distributive Property
\n" ); document.write( "x+13=-3 simplification
\n" ); document.write( "x+13-13=-3-13 additative inverse
\n" ); document.write( "x=-16
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "5(-16)+8+3(-16)-(-16)+5=6(-16)-3
\n" ); document.write( "-80+8-48+16+5=-96-3
\n" ); document.write( "-99=-99
\n" ); document.write( "We're Correct!!!
\n" ); document.write( "Happy calculating!!!
