To solve the equation \(-3 = 2 - y\), we can isolate \(y\) on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: \[ -3 - 2 = -y \] This simplifies to: \[ -5 = -y \]

  2. Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for \(y\): \[ y = 5 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ y = 5 \]
