y  + 12*y + 36 = 0
$$\left(y^{2} + 12 y\right) + 36 = 0$$
Detail solution
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
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 12$$
$$c = 36$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(12)^2 - 4 * (1) * (36) = 0

Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
y = -b/2a = -12/2/(1)

$$y_{1} = -6$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p y + q + y^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 12$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 36$$
Vieta Formulas
$$y_{1} + y_{2} = - p$$
$$y_{1} y_{2} = q$$
$$y_{1} + y_{2} = -12$$
$$y_{1} y_{2} = 36$$
