To solve for w, we need to isolate w on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by -12.

-12w = 17

Dividing both sides by -12:

w = 17/-12

Simplifying the fraction 17/-12:

w = -17/12

To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 8.

8y = 5

Dividing both sides by 8:

y = 5/8

Therefore, the solution for y is y = 5/8.
