Answer 1

To solve the equation for y, start by isolating y on one side of the equation.

-15y + 3 = -7

First, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

-15y + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3

Simplifying:

-15y = -10

Now, divide both sides by -15 to solve for y:

-15y / -15 = -10 / -15

Simplifying:

y = 10/15

Reducing the fraction:

y = 2/3

Therefore, the solution for y is 2/3.
