First, we can clear the fraction by multiplying both sides by the denominator, 3:

$3*\frac{5}{3}y - 3*25 = 3*(-15)$

$5y - 75 = -45$

Next, we can isolate the variable, y, by adding 75 to both sides:

$5y = 30$

Finally, we can solve for y by dividing both sides by 5:

$y = 6$

Thus, the answer is D, 6.
