To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable y.

First, we can subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:
-1/5y + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3
-1/5y = -10

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -5 to eliminate the fraction:
(-1/5y) * (-5) = (-10) * (-5)
y = 50

So the solution for y is 50.
