The given system is


\begin{cases}x=y-8 \\ -x-y=0\end{cases}

Step 1: We combine the first equation with the second one


-(y-8)-y=0

Step 2: Solve for y.

First, we use the distributive property, then we combine like terms


\begin{gathered} -y+8-y=0 \\ -2y+8=0 \end{gathered}

Now, we subtract 8 from each side


\begin{gathered} -2y+8-8=-8 \\ -2y=-8 \end{gathered}

Then, we divide the equation by -2.


\begin{gathered} (-2y)/(-2)=(-8)/(-2) \\ y=4 \end{gathered}

Step 3: we solve for x.


x=y-8=4-8=-4

Step 4: Give Coordinate, we just have to write down the solutions as coordinates.


(-4,4)
