There are infinite solutions...see below

Explanation:

Consider x as a value to search

One option could be #x^2=36# Solution #x=+-6#

Other option could be #2x-8=36# solution #x=22#

Other option could be #36x=36# solution #x=1#

Other option #x(x+2)=36# operating parenthesis #x^2+2x-36=0#

Then the solution is (by quadratic formula)

#x=(-2+-sqrt(4+144))/2=(-2+-sqrt148)/2=(-2+-2sqrt37)/2# gives solutions #x=-1+sqrt37# and #x=-1-sqrt37#

And so on...
