Yep...good job!
And don't forget you can always check the answer you come up with to see if it's right. This is really helpful on quizzes and exams:
-6(-5/8) - 2(-5/8) = ?
30/8 + 10/8 = 40/8 = 5

That's right. You can also verify that you have the right answer. Just replace x by -5/8 in your initial equation. You should get 5.
