To isolate \( x \) in the equation \( 5x + 8 = 63 \), Randall needs to first eliminate the constant term on the left side of the equation.

He will apply subtraction to the value \( 8 \).

So, he would subtract \( 8 \) from both sides of the equation:

\[
5x + 8 - 8 = 63 - 8
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
5x = 55
\]

Thus, he subtracts \( 8 \) from \( 63 \).

The value Randall will apply subtraction to is **8**. He will subtract **8** from both sides of the equation.
