Let's solve the equation
$$
-2y + 2 = -7y + 17
$$
step by step.

1. **Add $$7y$$ to both sides** to collect the $$y$$-terms on the left:
   $$
   -2y + 7y + 2 = 17
   $$
   Simplifying the left side, we have:
   $$
   5y + 2 = 17
   $$

2. **Subtract $$2$$ from both sides** to isolate the term with $$y$$:
   $$
   5y = 17 - 2
   $$
   Simplify the right side:
   $$
   5y = 15
   $$

3. **Divide both sides by $$5$$** to solve for $$y$$:
   $$
   y = \frac{15}{5} 
   $$
   Simplifying, we get:
   $$
   y = 3
   $$

Thus, the solution is:
$$
\boxed{y = 3}
$$
$$ y = 3 $$
