To isolate x, Randall will apply the subtraction operation to the constant term on the same side as x. In this equation, the constant term is 8.

To isolate the variable x in the equation 5x + 8 = 63, Randall would first need to get rid of the constant term of 8 on the left side of the equation. Since he plans to use subtraction, he will subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.
By subtracting 8 from both sides, the equation becomes:
5x + 8 - 8 = 63 - 8
Simplifying further:
5x = 55
So, the value Randall will apply subtraction to is the constant term of 8.
