If we move 7 to one side, we have (y^2 + 4y -3) = 0. From this form, we can apply the quadrati formula to solve for the values of y.
To recall, quadratic formula is [ -b ±√ (b² - 4ac) ]/2a.
For our equation, we have a =1, b = 4, and c = -3. If we plug this in, we have y to have approximate values of -2 - sqrt(7) and -2 + sqrt(7).
