Explanation:

Simplify 8 - {x - (5 + x)}

We need to simplify 8-(x- (5+x))

To simplify it we need to use order of operation

Order of operation is PEMDAS

Parenthesis , exponents , multiply , divide , add and subtract

So first we start with parenthesis


8-(x- (5+x))

multiply negative sign inside the parenthesis


8-(x-5-x)

combine like terms x-x becomes 0


8-(-5))


8+5
