Like terms are going to have the EXACT same variables....or they can just be constants with no variables.
x^2 and 3x^2 are like terms
x^2 and x^3 are not like terms
8 and 9 are like terms
8x and 9y are not like terms
so ur like terms in ur problem are : 2y^3 and y^3
Add these together.
You get -15y=-45
So y=3
Now plug in to first equation.
8x-8(3)=-16
8x-24=-16
8x=8 so x=1
Check both values in second equation.
-8(1)-7(3)=
-8-21=-29
It works...so x=1, y=3

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula 
. Pick two points on the line and substitute their x and y values into the formula, then solve. I used the points (-5,-4) and (0,-6):
So, the slope of the line is 
.
2) Next, use the point-slope formula 
to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. (From there, we can convert it to slope-intercept form.) Substitute values for the 
, 
and 
into the formula.
Since represents the slope, substitute in its place. Since and represent the x and y values of one point on the line, pick any point on the line (any one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values in those places. (I chose (0,-6), as seen below.) Then, with the resulting equation, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form:
