To solve the system of equations by substitution, we'll start with the equations given:

1. \( x = 5y + 10 \) (Equation 1)
2. \( 3x + 8y = -39 \) (Equation 2)

We will substitute the expression for \( x \) from Equation 1 into Equation 2.

### Step 1: Substitute \( x \) in Equation 2

Substituting \( x \) in Equation 2:

\[
3(5y + 10) + 8y = -39
\]

### Step 2: Distribute and simplify

Distributing the \( 3 \):

\[
15y + 30 + 8y = -39
\]

Combine like terms:

\[
23y + 30 = -39
\]

### Step 3: Solve for \( y \)

To isolate \( y \), subtract \( 30 \) from both sides:

\[
23y = -39 - 30
\]

\[
23y = -69
\]

Now, divide both sides by \( 23 \):

\[
y = -3
\]

### Step 4: Substitute \( y \) back to find \( x \)

Now that we have \( y \), we'll substitute it back into Equation 1 to find \( x \):

\[
x = 5(-3) + 10
\]

\[
x = -15 + 10
\]

\[
x = -5
\]

### Conclusion

The solution to the system is:

\[
x = -5 \quad \text{and} \quad y = -3
\]

Let's enter the final answers:

- \( x = -5 \)
- \( y = -3 \)
