HINT: I'll sketch the derivation. Since the theorem is a conditional, try using conditional proof/conditional-introduction by assuming P(a) and trying to derive ∀x(P(x) ∨ ¬(x = a)) from it. Here, to derive it, I would try an indirect proof by assuming the negation ¬∀x(P(x) ∨ ¬(x = a)) and trying to derive a contradiction. Use quantifier equivalence rules to get ∃x¬(P(x) ∨ ¬(x = a)).
The next steps will be a little different depending on your list of rules (quantifier rules typically come with restrictions to ensure the rules are sound, and different texts will use different restrictions). Roughly, we can let y be stand for the particular such that ¬(P(y) ∨ ¬(y = a)). Apply De Morgan's law to get ¬P(y) ∧ (y = a). Since y = a, it must be that ¬P(a), contradicting our assumption that P(a). Hence our contradiction completing the indirect proof of ∀x(P(x) ∨ ¬(x = a)).
Hope this helps!
