- (y - 7)  - 12*y + 36 = 0
$$\left(- 12 y - \left(y - 7\right)^{2}\right) + 36 = 0$$
Detail solution
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(- 12 y - \left(y - 7\right)^{2}\right) + 36 = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$- y^{2} + 2 y - 13 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*y^2 + b*y + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$y_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$y_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -1$$
$$b = 2$$
$$c = -13$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(2)^2 - 4 * (-1) * (-13) = -48

Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
y1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

y2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$y_{1} = 1 - 2 \sqrt{3} i$$
$$y_{2} = 1 + 2 \sqrt{3} i$$
