Hi,

you want the contour 0==y^2-Cos[x]/(4x+z).
When is the left hand side zero and are there points that are not valid?

expr = Together[y^2 - Cos[x]/(4 x + z)]
{num, den} = {Numerator[#], Denominator[#]} &[expr]
ContourPlot3D[num, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, {z, 0, 10}, 
 Contours -> {0}, 
 RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, Abs[den] > 0.001]]

Cheers
Patrick
