Answer 1

y = -2

Explanation:

Put x as -19 and solve for y.

2(-19) - 5y = -28

Multiply.

-38 - 5y = -28

Add 38 on both sides of the equation.

-5y = -28 + 38

-5y = 10

Divide both sides by -5.

y = 10/-5

y = -2

Answer 2

2x - 5y = -28

when x = - 19

Substitute the value of x into the equation

That's

2(-19) - 5y = -28

-38 - 5y = -28

-5y = -28 + 38

-5y = 10

Divide both sides by - 5

We get

y = 10/-5

y = -2
