To solve the equation $\frac{5}{8}u + \frac{1}{20} = -\frac{23}{40}$, first find a common denominator to combine the fractions, which is 40. This gives us $\frac{25}{40}u + \frac{2}{40} = -\frac{23}{40}$. Simplifying, we get $25u + 2 = -23$. Subtracting 2 from both sides gives $25u = -25$. Dividing both sides by 25 gives $u = -1$.
