\frac{5}{36}\sqrt{1+4x}-1=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{5}{36}\sqrt{1+4x}=y+1
Add 1 to both sides.
\frac{\frac{5}{36}\sqrt{4x+1}}{\frac{5}{36}}=\frac{y+1}{\frac{5}{36}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{5}{36}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
\sqrt{4x+1}=\frac{y+1}{\frac{5}{36}}
Dividing by \frac{5}{36} undoes the multiplication by \frac{5}{36}.
\sqrt{4x+1}=\frac{36y+36}{5}
Divide y+1 by \frac{5}{36} by multiplying y+1 by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{36}.
4x+1=\frac{1296\left(y+1\right)^{2}}{25}
Square both sides of the equation.
4x+1-1=\frac{1296\left(y+1\right)^{2}}{25}-1
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
4x=\frac{1296\left(y+1\right)^{2}}{25}-1
Subtracting 1 from itself leaves 0.
4x=\frac{1296y^{2}+2592y+1271}{25}
Subtract 1 from \frac{1296\left(1+y\right)^{2}}{25}.
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{1296y^{2}+2592y+1271}{4\times 25}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{1296y^{2}+2592y+1271}{4\times 25}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
x=\frac{324y^{2}}{25}+\frac{648y}{25}+\frac{1271}{100}
Divide \frac{1271+2592y+1296y^{2}}{25} by 4.
