Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You find the x-intercept by setting y=0 and solving for x.
8x -1/3(0) = 16
8x = 16
x = 16/8 = 2
The x-intercept is 2.

Additional comment
As you can see, the x-intercept is the ratio of the constant to the x-coefficient. The same is true for the y-intercept. It is 16/(-1/3) = -48.
