Let's solve your equation step-by-step.w6+58=(−1)(3)8
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.16w+58=−38
Step 2: Subtract 5/8 from both sides.16w+58−58=−38−5816w=−1
Step 3: Divide both sides by 1/6.16w16=−116w=−6
Answer:w=−6

We have question

(W)/(6)+ (5)/(8) =-1 (3)/(8)

(W)/(6) + (5)/(8) =- (11)/(8) /*8 (multiply both sides by 8)

(W8)/(6) + (5)/(1) =- (11)/(1) /*6 (multiply both sides by 6)

8W+5*6=-11*6 /-30 both sides
8W=-66-30
8W=-96
W=-12
