Two parabolas are equal if the length of their latusrectum are equal

Length of the latus rectum of y2=λxis λ.

The equation of the second parabola is

25x32+y+22=3x4y22

x32+y+22=3x4y232+42

Here focus is 3,2and equation of the directrix is 3x4y2=0

Therefore, length of the latus rectum is 2×distance between focus and directrix 

=23×34×2232+42=6

Thus, the two parabola are equal if λ=6
