final answer
< y <

1.25 < y < 8.32124...

The least y can be is the value that makes the angle in the smaller triangle be zero. (This condition will exist when the difference of side lengths is 4.)

... 4y -5 = 0

... y = 5/4 . . . . . add 5, divide by 4.

The greatest y can be is the value obtained when the triangle is isosceles. For the larger triangle, that makes the side lengths (s) be ...

... 3/s = sin(43°/2)

... s = 3/sin(21.5°)

Then for the smaller triangle, that makes the angle be ...

... 4y -5 = arcsin(2/s) = arcsin(2/3·sin(21.5°))

... y = 1.25 + arcsin(2/3·sin(21.5°))/4

... y ≈ 8.32124
