To find the inverse of the given \(2 \times 2\) matrix \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 8 & 5 \\ -8 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \), we can use the formula for the inverse of a \(2 \times 2\) matrix:

\[
A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \begin{bmatrix} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{bmatrix}
\]

where for matrix \( A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} \), the determinant \( \text{det}(A) = ad - bc \).

### Step 1: Compute the Determinant
For \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 8 & 5 \\ -8 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \):
- \( a = 8 \)
- \( b = 5 \)
- \( c = -8 \)
- \( d = 5 \)

Then, the determinant is:
\[
\text{det}(A) = (8)(5) - (5)(-8) = 40 + 40 = 80
\]

### Step 2: Set up the Inverse Matrix
Now, apply the inverse formula:
\[
A^{-1} = \frac{1}{80} \begin{bmatrix} 5 & -5 \\ 8 & 8 \end{bmatrix}
\]

### Step 3: Simplify Each Element
Multiply each element by \( \frac{1}{80} \):
\[
A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{5}{80} & \frac{-5}{80} \\ \frac{8}{80} & \frac{8}{80} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{16} & -\frac{1}{16} \\ \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{10} \end{bmatrix}
\]

### Final Answer
Thus, the elements are:
- \( b_{11} = \frac{1}{16} \)
- \( b_{12} = -\frac{1}{16} \)
- \( b_{21} = \frac{1}{10} \)
- \( b_{22} = \frac{1}{10} \)
