To solve the system of equations using substitution, we can solve one equation for one variable and then substitute that expression into the other equation.

Let's solve the first equation for x:
7x + 8y = -9
7x = -9 - 8y
x = \frac{-9 - 8y}{7}

Now, substitute this expression for x into the second equation:
5x - 4y = 13
5\left(\frac{-9 - 8y}{7}\right) - 4y = 13
\frac{-45 - 40y}{7} - 4y = 13
-45 - 40y - 28y = 91
-68y = 136
y = -2

Now that we have the value of y, we can substitute it back into the expression for x:
x = \frac{-9 - 8(-2)}{7}
x = \frac{-9 + 16}{7}
x = \frac{7}{7}
x = 1

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 1 and y = -2.
