To determine if the equation 36 - 7y = -7(y - 5) has infinite solutions or no solution, let's solve it step by step:
1. Distribute the -7 on the right side of the equation:
36 - 7y = -7y + 35
2. Combine like terms:
-7y + 7y = 35 - 36
0 = -1
3. Simplify further:
0 = -1
Since the equation leads to an inconsistency (0 and -1 are not equal), there are no solutions to this equation. Therefore, the answer is none.

To determine if the given equation has infinite solutions or none, we need to simplify and solve the equation.
Let's start by distributing -7 to the terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation:
36 - 7y = -7y + 35
Now, we can simplify the equation by combining like terms:
36 - 7y = -7y + 35
Subtracting -7y from both sides:
36 = 35
We obtain 36 = 35, which is not true. In a true equation, both sides would be equal. Since the equation is not true, there are no solutions to this equation. Therefore, the answer is none.
