36\times 36\times 25=yy
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 36xy, the least common multiple of xy,36x.
36\times 36\times 25=y^{2}
Multiply y and y to get y^{2}.
1296\times 25=y^{2}
Multiply 36 and 36 to get 1296.
32400=y^{2}
Multiply 1296 and 25 to get 32400.
y^{2}=32400
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y=180 y=-180
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

1296\times 25=y^{2}
Multiply 36 and 36 to get 1296.
32400=y^{2}
Multiply 1296 and 25 to get 32400.
y^{2}=32400
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y^{2}-32400=0
Subtract 32400 from both sides.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-32400\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -32400 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-32400\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
y=\frac{0±\sqrt{129600}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -32400.
y=\frac{0±360}{2}
Take the square root of 129600.
y=180
Now solve the equation y=\frac{0±360}{2} when ± is plus. Divide 360 by 2.
y=-180
Now solve the equation y=\frac{0±360}{2} when ± is minus. Divide -360 by 2.
y=180 y=-180
The equation is now solved.
