step would be to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
The equation is 5x + 8 = 63
First, Randall would subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side:
5x + 8 - 8 = 63 - 8
5x = 55
Next, Randall would divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
(5x)/5 = 55/5
x = 11
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 11.
Randall needs to solve the equation 5x+8=63. His first mathematical
