5x+6y=30
4x+6y=-28
I am supposed to find where they intersect, I found the x (x=19) but I cant figure out how to find the y.

clearly you did not get x right.
The two equations are the same except that the 1st has one more x in it. So, if you subtract #2 from #1, you end up with
x = 58
Using that in either equation to find y, you have
5*58 + 6y = 30
6y = -260
y = -130/3
4*58 + 6y = -28
6y = -260
y = -130/3
Yet, somehow I suspect a typo.
