To solve the equation for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.

Start by subtracting 3 from both sides:

-1/5y + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3

This simplifies to:

-1/5y = -10

To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides by -5:

-5 * (-1/5y) = -5 * (-10)

This simplifies to:

y = 50

Therefore, the solution for y is 50.

Yes, that is correct. The solution to the equation is y = 50.
