\tt \large \blue\leadsto \: \: - 5y \: + \: 8 \: = \: - 7


\tt \large \blue\leadsto \: \: - 5y \: = \: - 7 - 8


\tt \large \blue\leadsto \: \: - 5y \: = \: - 15


\tt \large \blue\leadsto \: \:y \: = \: \frac{ \cancel - \cancel{15}}{ \cancel- \cancel5} \\


\tt \large \blue\leadsto \: \:y \: = \: 3

Answer:


- 5y + 8 = - 7


- 5y = - 7 - 8


- 5y = - 15


y = \cancel ( - 15)/( - 5) \: {}^(3)


y = 3
