X-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.
8x - 1/3y = 16
8x - 1/3(0) = 16
8x = 16
x = 16/8 = 2.
x-intercept = (2, 0)

X intercept is where y=0
8x-1/3*0=16
8x=16
X=2
Point (2,0)

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=-5,\ y=4\to(-5,\ 4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+3y=2\\5x-y=-29&\text{multiply both sides by 3}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+3y=2\\15x-3y=-87\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad17x=-85\qquad\text{divide both sides by 17}\\.\qquad\dfrac{17x}{17}=\dfrac{-85}{17}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=-5}\\\\\text{Substitute it to the second equation:}\\\\5(-5)-y=-29\\\\-25-y=-29\qquad\text{add 25 to both sides}\\\\-25+25-y=-29+25\\\\-y=-4\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\boxed{y=4}$
