To determine if the point (8, 8) satisfies the inequality \( 18x - 16y > 16 \), we can substitute \( x = 8 \) and \( y = 8 \) into the inequality.

Starting with the inequality:

\[
18x - 16y > 16
\]

Substituting in the values:

\[
18(8) - 16(8) > 16
\]

Calculating the left side:

\[
144 - 128 > 16
\]
\[
16 > 16
\]

This statement is false because \( 16 \) is not greater than \( 16 \).

Therefore, the point \( (8, 8) \) does not satisfy the inequality \( 18x - 16y > 16 \).
