It's a simple linear equation in 'x'.

If you'd like to know the value of 'x' that makes it true,
you can find it like this:

(x+8)/5 = -3

Multiply each side by 5:

x+8 = -15

Subtract 8 from each side:

X = -23
===============================

The equation could have been read as

X + (8/5) = -3

Subtract 1.6 from each side:

X = -4.6
