Answer

$w(-3)=14$ $w(0)=-1$ $w(8)=-41$

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow w(x)=-5x-1$ Substitute $x=-3$. $\Rightarrow w(-3)=-5(-3)-1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow w(-3)=15-1$ $\Rightarrow w(-3)=14$ Substitute $x=0$. $\Rightarrow w(0)=-5(0)-1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow w(0)=0-1$ $\Rightarrow w(0)=-1$ Substitute $x=8$. $\Rightarrow w(8)=-5(8)-1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow w(8)=-40-1$ $\Rightarrow w(8)=-41$
