1. **State the problems:** Solve the equations:
b) $y - 3 = 5$
d) $\frac{c}{3} = 2$
f) $5u = -20$
h) $-7w + 2 = -3$
2. **Solve b) $y - 3 = 5$**
Add 3 to both sides to isolate $y$:
$$y - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3$$
$$y = 8$$
3. **Solve d) $\frac{c}{3} = 2$**
Multiply both sides by 3 to solve for $c$:
$$\cancel{3} \times \frac{c}{\cancel{3}} = 2 \times 3$$
$$c = 6$$
4. **Solve f) $5u = -20$**
Divide both sides by 5:
$$\frac{\cancel{5}u}{\cancel{5}} = \frac{-20}{5}$$
$$u = -4$$
5. **Solve h) $-7w + 2 = -3$**
Subtract 2 from both sides:
$$-7w + 2 - 2 = -3 - 2$$
$$-7w = -5$$
Divide both sides by $-7$:
$$\frac{\cancel{-7}w}{\cancel{-7}} = \frac{-5}{-7}$$
$$w = \frac{5}{7}$$
**Final answers:**
b) $y = 8$
d) $c = 6$
f) $u = -4$
h) $w = \frac{5}{7}$
