The equation \(5x + 3 = x \cdot 5 + 3\) can be analyzed by substituting \(x = 1\):

1. Substituting \(x = 1\) into the left side: \(5(1) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8\).
2. Substituting \(x = 1\) into the right side: \(1 \cdot 5 + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8\).

Both sides equal 8, verifying that the equation holds true for \(x = 1\).

This equation demonstrates the **Commutative Property of Multiplication** because it shows that the order of multiplication does not affect the result (\(5x = x \cdot 5\)).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**The Commutative Property of Multiplication**.
