8.


y+(3)/(8)=-(2)/(3)

Multiply both sides by 8:


\begin{gathered} 8(y+(3)/(8))=8(-(2)/(3)) \\ 8y+3=-(16)/(3) \end{gathered}

Multiply both sides by 3:


\begin{gathered} 3(8y+3)=3(-(16)/(3)) \\ 24y+9=-16 \end{gathered}

Subtract 9 from both sides:


\begin{gathered} 24y+9-9=-16-9 \\ 24y=-25 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 24:


\begin{gathered} (24y)/(24)=-(25)/(24) \\ y=-(25)/(24) \end{gathered}
