    2y=7sqrt(y)-3
2y+3 = √y
square both sides
4y^2 + 12y + 9 = y
4y^2 + 11y + 9 = 0
y = (-11 ±√-23)/8
I am assuming you are dealing with real numbers only
since y is a complex number, and we cannot take a square root of a complex number, your equation has no real solution.

    Using the substitution y=e^x,solve 2e^x=7√e^x -3

    for some reason , I dropped the 7 on the right side
let's start again
square both sides
4y^2 + 12y + 9 = 49y
4y^2 - 37y + 9 = 0
y = (37 ± √1225)/8
y = 9 or y = 0.25
(it would have factored to (y-9)(4y - 1)=0 )
now now
e^x = 9
take ln of both sides
ln (e^x) = ln9
x = ln9
or
e^x = .25 or 1/4
take ln again
x = ln (1/4) = ln1 - ln4 = -ln4
x = ln9 or x = -ln4
