To solve the equation \( 120 - 8d = 7 \), the first step should be to isolate the term with \( d \).

In this case, the logical first step is to subtract 120 from both sides of the equation to get the term involving \( d \) by itself. So the correct response is:

Subtract 120 from both sides of the equation.
