It's a line whose slope is negative 3/4, which intersects the y axis at 9.

3x + 4y = 36
There must be one more equation from which you will be able to find the exact values of x and y. In this case, there are infinite values for x and y. For example, see this:
3x + 4y = 36
Put y=0
3x + 4*0 = 36
3x = 36
x = 12
Put y=1
3x = 36 - 4
3x = 32
x = 32/3
Put y=2
3x = 36 - 8
3x = 28
x = 28/3
and so on...

It is the equation of a straight line (ie linear function). It may be more apparent if you express it in gradient form (y=mx+b).
3x + 4y = 36
y= -3x/4 + 9

It's the equation of a straight line.
Did you have a question about it?

its an improbable quadratic expression...or x=1 and y=3 , or x=3 and y=1 ,

Two different unknowns with only one answer? Looks impossible and I think it is impossible.

It is what it is. Can't really be simplified any further.
