Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. that should be added be x

$\large \: x + \frac{ - 5}{8} = \frac{ - 3}{2} \\ \\\large \: x = \frac{ - 3}{2} - \frac{5}{8} \\ \\ \large \: x = \frac{ - 3 \times 4}{2 \times 4} - \frac{5}{8} \\ \\ \large \: x = \frac{ - 12}{8} - \frac{5}{8} \\ \\ \large \: x = \frac{ - 12 - 5}{8} \\ \\ \large \: x = \frac{ - 17}{8}$
