To solve the equation \(5y - 10 = -25\) for \(y\), follow these steps:

Step 1: Add 10 to both sides of the equation.

\[ 5y - 10 + 10 = -25 + 10 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 5y = -15 \]

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

\[ \frac{5y}{5} = \frac{-15}{5} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ y = -3 \]

Solution: \(y = -3\)
