To solve for \( q \) in the equation \(-8q + 8 = 39 - 3\), we first simplify the right side:
\[ 39 - 3 = 36 \]
So the equation becomes:
\[ -8q + 8 = 36 \]
Next, we subtract 8 from both sides:
\[ -8q = 36 - 8 \] \[ -8q = 28 \]
Now we divide both sides by -8:
\[ q = \frac{28}{-8} = -\frac{28}{8} = -\frac{7}{2} \]
So the solution for \( q \) is:
\[ q = -\frac{7}{2} \]
