What is the Acyclic Carrier Theorem and how can it be applied using chain maps?

This is theorem 13.6 in Munkres' Elements of Algebraic Topology. I'm trying to go through this, but I can't prove it. Can someone do this one please?
Btw, its "Choose a partial ordering of the vertices of K that induces a linear ordering on the vertices of each simplex of K. Define \phi:C_p(K)\to C_p'(K) by letting \[\phi([v_0,...,v_p])=(v_0,...,v_p)\] if v_0<v_1<...<v_p in the given ordering. Define \psi:C_p'(K)\to C_p(K) by

\[\psi((w_0,...,w_p))=\begin{cases}[w_0,...,w_p] & \text{if the }w_i \text{ are distinct} \\ 0 * \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \]

Then \phi,\psi are augmentation-preserving chain maps that are chian homotopy inverses.
Thanks! The sooner the better of course, much appreciated. (Apply the acyclic carrier theorem)

You have to end the latex-tag with /tex instead of \tex.
 
THanks! Haha I was getting slightly annoyed, a simple mistake.
Now people can read it to help =)
