Randall needs to solve the equation 5x + 8 = 63.!His first mathematical operation used to isolate x is subtraction. Which value will he apply it to?
Randall will apply the subtraction operation to the number 8. He will subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x.
To isolate x in the equation 5x + 8 = 63, Randall will need to subtract 8 from both sides of the equation. By doing this, he can eliminate the constant term (8) on the left side, making it easier to solve for x.
So the value that Randall will apply subtraction to is the constant term (8).
