Survival probability of a series system of exponential and gamma lifetimes

Let XX and YY denote the lifetimes (in years) of two independent components connected in a series with respective probability density functions

fX(x)=12e−x/2,x>0,andfY(y)=y4e−y/2,y>0.f_X(x)=\tfrac12e^{-x/2}, x>0,\quad\text{and}\quad f_Y(y)=\tfrac y4e^{-y/2}, y>0.

Then the probability that the system will survive for at least 22 years, is
