Answer:

y = 0, y =
(1)/(3) , y = 7

Explanation:

Factor out
y^{(3)/(5) } from each term


y^{(3)/(5) } ( 3
y^{(10)/(5) } - 22
y^{(5)/(5) } + 7) = 0 , that is


y^{(3)/(5) } (3y² - 22y + 7) = 0 ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term

product = 3 × 7 = 21 and sum = - 22

The factors are - 21 and - 1

Use these factors to split the y- term

3y² - 21y - y + 7 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3y(y - 7) - 1 (y - 7) ← factor out (y - 7) from each term

(y - 7)(3y - 1)

Then


y^{(3)/(5) } (y - 7)(3y - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for y


y^{(3)/(5) } = 0 ⇒ y = 0

3y - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3y = 1 ⇒ y =
(1)/(3)

y - 7 = 0 ⇒ y = 7
