1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of linear equations using substitution:
$$x = 5y - 6$$
$$x + 5y = 2$$
2. **Choose which expression to substitute:** The first equation already expresses $x$ in terms of $y$ as $x = 5y - 6$. This is easier to substitute into the second equation because $x$ is isolated.
3. **Substitute $x = 5y - 6$ into the second equation:**
$$ (5y - 6) + 5y = 2 $$
4. **Simplify and solve for $y$:**
$$ 5y - 6 + 5y = 2 $$
$$ 10y - 6 = 2 $$
$$ 10y = 2 + 6 $$
$$ 10y = 8 $$
$$ y = \frac{\cancel{10}y}{\cancel{10}} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5} $$
5. **Substitute $y = \frac{4}{5}$ back into $x = 5y - 6$ to find $x$:**
$$ x = 5 \times \frac{4}{5} - 6 $$
$$ x = 4 - 6 $$
$$ x = -2 $$
6. **Final solution:**
The ordered pair solution is $$\boxed{\left(-2, \frac{4}{5}\right)}$$.
This means $x = -2$ and $y = \frac{4}{5}$ satisfy both equations.
