Question 146427
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+4}}}In 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.
