The correct reason is:

He needs to subtract 8 from both sides of the equation in order to isolate the variable, n, and solve for its value. By subtracting 8 from both sides, he eliminates the term 8 on the left side of the equation, leaving only 3n. This allows him to continue solving for n by dividing both sides by 3.
