Question 146427: 8y+4=4y+8=36: 8y+4=4y+8=36

This equation does not have a solution. The only value for y that would set the first two expressions equal to each other is 1, but that would make them not equal to 36 because they would both equal 12. 4+8=8+4In order for each expression separately to equal 36, they would require two different values for y, so that doesn't work. Therefore, the answer is no solution.
