x+3=\frac{7}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=\frac{7}{8}-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
x=\frac{7}{8}-\frac{24}{8}
Convert 3 to fraction \frac{24}{8}.
x=\frac{7-24}{8}
Since \frac{7}{8} and \frac{24}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
x=-\frac{17}{8}
Subtract 24 from 7 to get -17.
