To solve for $y$, first get all the $y$ terms on one side. Subtract $\frac{1}{3}y$ from both sides to get $\frac{2}{5}y - \frac{1}{3}y = 3$. Find a common denominator for the fractions, which is 15, so we have $\frac{6}{15}y - \frac{5}{15}y = 3$. Simplify to $\frac{1}{15}y = 3$. Multiply both sides by 15 to solve for $y$, resulting in $y = 45$.
