To solve the equation −15y + 3 = −7 for y, we need to isolate the variable y on one side of the equation.

First, we can start by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation:

−15y + 3 - 3 = −7 - 3

−15y = −10

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -15 to solve for y:

−15y / -15 = −10 / -15

y = 2/3

Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 2/3.
