To isolate x in the equation 5x + 8 = 63, Randall needs to use subtraction. The goal is to get x alone on one side of the equation.

Randall will subtract 8 from both sides of the equation. By doing so, the 8 on the left side will cancel out, and he will be left with 5x = 63 - 8.

Simplifying further, Randall will subtract 8 from 63, which gives 55, so the equation becomes 5x = 55.

Thus, Randall will apply the subtraction operation to the "8" in the equation.
