    The expression [ x² - 4 ] doesn't depend on 'a', 'b', or 'y'.

    It only depends on 'x'.

    You have said that 3x = 5, so x = 5/3.

    Therefore, I may now write '5/3' in place of 'x' in the expression:

    x² - 4 =

    (5/3) ² - 4 =

    (25/9) - 4 =

    (25/9) - (36/9) =

    (25 - 36) / 9 = - 11/9 = - (1 and 2/9)
