Step 1:
Multiply both sides of the equation by −15−15
Step 2:
Add 1515 to both sides of the equation.
Solution:
y = 50
y = -20
y = 15
y = 20
Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides of the equation by -5.
Multiply both sides of the equation by -5.

To solve the equation \(-15y + 3 = -7\):

  1. Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ -15y + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3 \ -15y = -10 \]

  2. Divide both sides by -15: \[ y = \frac{-10}{-15} \ y = \frac{10}{15} = \frac{2}{3} \]

None of the options provided (50, -20, 15, 20) match the result \(\frac{2}{3}\). There may have been a mistake in the choices you presented. Double-check the options for any typos or errors. If you meant to provide a different equation or choices, please clarify!
