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.
