It is quite straightforward here to find the Marshallian demands. Can you show your working? Then we could tell you were you are going wrong.

I derived the utility $u(x\_1,x\_2) = x\_2 + 2\sqrt{x\_1}$ from the indirect utility $V(x\_1,x\_2) = \frac{y}{p\_2} + \frac{p\_2}{p\_1}$ but cannot go the other direction without finding very complicated solutions for the explicit solution of the Marshallian demands.
