Given $y = 5\cos x - 3\sin x$. Differentiating with respect to $x$, we get: $$ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(5\cos x - 3\sin x) = -5\sin x - 3\cos x $$
Differentiating $\frac{dy}{dx}$ with respect to $x$, we get: $$ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx}(-5\sin x - 3\cos x) = -5\cos x + 3\sin x $$
Now, we need to prove that $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + y = 0$. Substituting the values of $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ and $y$, we have: $$ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + y = (-5\cos x + 3\sin x) + (5\cos x - 3\sin x) = 0 $$ Thus, $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + y = 0$.
