3%2Asqrt%28y-3%29+=+sqrt%284y%2B3%29
square each side
9(y-3) = 4y+3
9y-27 = 4y + 3
add -5y to each side
4y -27 = 3
add 27 to each side
4y = 24
divide each side by 4
y = 6
check by substituting 6 into the original equation.
3%2Asqrt%286-3%29 ?= sqrt%284%2A6%2B3%29
3%2Asqrt%283%29 ?= sqrt%2824%2B3%29
3%2Asqrt%283%29 ?= sqrt%2827%29
3%2Asqrt%283%29 ?= sqrt%289%29%2Asqrt%283%29
3%2Asqrt%283%29 ?= 3%2Asqrt%283%29 which check out
