sqrt(y + 1) + sqrt(y - 3) = 5
sqrt(y + 1) + sqrt(y - 3) = 5 | -sqrt(y - 3)
sqrt(y + 1) = 5 - sqrt(y - 3) | ^2
y+1 = (5 - sqrt(y - 3) )^2
y+1 = 5^2- 2*5*sqrt(y - 3) + (y - 3)
y+1 = 25- 10*sqrt(y - 3) + (y - 3)
y+1 = 22- 10*sqrt(y - 3) + y | -y
1 = 22- 10*sqrt(y - 3) | -22
-21 = -10*sqrt(y - 3) | *-1
21 = 10*sqrt(y - 3) | /10
21/10 = sqrt(y - 3) | ^2
(21/10)^2 = y - 3 | +3
(21/10)^2 +3 = y
441/100 + 3 = y
441/100 + 300/100 = y
y = 741/100
y = 7.41
