Use linear combinations to solve the system of linear equations.
y=x-9
x+8y=0
---------------
Rearrange:
x - y = 9
x + 8y = 0
-------------------
Subtract 1st from 2nd to solve for "y":
9y = -9
y = -1
-----------------------
Substitute to get x = y + 9 = -1+9 = 8
------------------------------------
Ans: (8,-1)
