To isolate x in the equation 5x + 8 = 63, Randall can start by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation.

5x + 8 - 8 = 63 - 8

This simplifies to:

5x = 55

Now, to solve for x, he needs to divide both sides of the equation by 5:

5x/5 = 55/5

This simplifies to:

x = 11

Therefore, the solution to the equation 5x + 8 = 63 is x = 11.
bots are wrong the answer is 8.............
