x={{7, 9, 0, 0, 10}, {4, 0, 3, 10, 9}, {4, 9, 0, 5, 0}, {0, 2, 1, 8,
5}, {2, 5, 3, 4, 4}, {1, 0, 4, 0, 0}, {1, 10, 6, 8, 9}}
y={{4, 5}, {3, 1}, {2, 6}}

Think of x as a lists of quantities and y as rules for adjusting them.
So in this example of y, decrement x[[4,3]] by 2, increment x[[5,3]]
by 2, increment x[[4,1]] by 6, decrement x[[5,1]] by 6,
But the point is that the operation works when not delayed. It seems
like the way command is being parsed is the problem as Mathematica is
thinking that the ReplacePart syntax is actual an operation on one of
the arguments. I am hoping there is a way to force the correct
interpretation.
