Use number properties to simplify the following expression.

-5 + (5 + 3)

in the box below, show each step in simplifying the expression and explain which property you used in each step.
i already have
-5 + 5 + 3
5 + 3 = 8:
8 - 5
8 - 5 = 3
3
but i need to know what properties are used in this answer.

Asilkworm winds its cocoon out of one long silk fiber. to make silk thread, 3 to 10 of these silk fibers are unwound from their cocoons and combined into aa single thread with a typical length of 300 yards. choose a reasonable number of silk fibers in a thread write an equation to find the total length of the silk fibersused in 300 yards of the thread

If f(x)=2x-6 and g(x)=3x+9, find (f-g)(x)
