w+5=\frac{3}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
w=\frac{3}{8}-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
w=\frac{3}{8}-\frac{40}{8}
Convert 5 to fraction \frac{40}{8}.
w=\frac{3-40}{8}
Since \frac{3}{8} and \frac{40}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
w=-\frac{37}{8}
Subtract 40 from 3 to get -37.
