If it's 32^(2y) = 5^(4y+1):
2y*log(32) = (4y+1)*log(5) = 4y*log(5) + log(5)
2y*log(32) - 4y*log(5) = log(5)
y*(2log(32) - 4log(5)) = log(5)
y = log(5)/(log(1024 - log(625))
y = log(5)/log(1024/625)
y =~ 3.259818
====================
PS 32^2y = 5^(4y+1) is not a problem, it's an equation.
"Solve for y" would be a problem.

Yes, I am picky and pedantic.

32^(2y) = 5^(4y+1)
:
(32^2)^y = (5^(4)^y) * 5
:
1024^y = 625^y * 5
:
take ln (natural log) of both sides of =
:
yln(1024) = yln(625) +ln(5)
:
Note ln(a^b) = bln(a) and ln(ab) = ln(a) + ln(b)
:
yln(1024) - yln(625) = ln(5)
:
y(ln(1024) - ln(625)) = ln(5)
:
yln(1024/625) = ln(5)
:
Note ln(a) - ln(b) = ln(a/b)
:
y = ln(5)/ln(1024/625)
:
