plug the x value into the equation and get:

2(-28) + 3y = -59
-56 + 3y = -59
3y = -3
y = -1

2x + 3y = -59, x = -28

Plug in -28 for x in the above equation.

2(-28) + 3y = -59

Simplify.

-56 + 3y = -59

Add 56 to both sides.

3y = -59 + 56

Simplify.

3y = -3

Divide both sides by 3.

y = -3/3

Simplify.

y = -1

~Hope I helped!~
