It is easy to graph this and find the point of intersection as directed.  

Take first equation, x + y =-8

Set x=0 and solve for value of y. Put a dot  at (0,y).
Set y=0 and solve for the value of x. Put a dot at (x,0).
Draw a straight line through those two points.

Take the second equation and repeat the procedure.  Notice where the two lines intersect. That point is your solution.
