You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log5 Y^2 + log5 Y^0.5 = 0.4
:
log%285%2C%28y%5E2%29%29+%2B+log%285%2C%28y%5E.5%29%29+=+.4
adding logs is multiply
log%285%2C%28y%5E2%2Ay%5E.5%29%29++=+.4
add exponents
log%285%2C%28y%5E2.5%29%29+=+.4
2.5%2Alog%285%2Cy%29+=+.4
log%285%2Cy%29+=+.4%2F2.5
log%285%2Cy%29+=+.16
Convert to the exponent form
y+=+5%5E.16
using your calc
y = 1.2937
