Elise is entering a team into a 5-kilometer race. The cost for entry is $15 for a team and an additional $2 per member. The total cost can be modeled by the equation -2x + y = 15, where x is the number of members on the team and y is the total cost. What is the total cost if Elise has 5 members on her team?
