SUMMARY
The equation \((a+b)^{a+b} = a^a + y\) can be rearranged to express \(y\) in terms of \(a\) and \(b\). The correct formulation is \(y = (a+b)^{a+b} - a^a\). This conclusion is based on the assumption that both \(a\) and \(b\) are known constants, allowing for the direct computation of \(y\).
