Question

5
𝑥

63
. His first mathematical operation used to isolate x
𝑥
is subtraction. Which value will he apply it to?(1 point)

Answer 1

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 \( 63 \).

Answer 2

WHATS THE AWNSER

Answer 3

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