Let's solve the equation step by step.

Given the equation: \[ 5y - 10 = -25 \]

Step 1: Add 10 to both sides of the equation. \[ 5y - 10 + 10 = -25 + 10 \] \[ 5y = -15 \]

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 5. \[ \frac{5y}{5} = \frac{-15}{5} \] \[ y = -3 \]

So, the solution is: \[ y = -3 \]

From the provided options:

  • y = -3
  • y = 3
  • y = 7
  • y = -7

The correct answer is: y = -3
