I tried $ \mathbf { 36x^2y+54xy^ 2} $

I suggest you use \boldmath before entering math mode. Use grouping to keep the scope of the directive local.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$36x^2y+54xy^2$

{\boldmath $36x^2y+54xy^2$} % use { and } to localize scope of \boldmath

$36x^2y+54xy^2$
\end{document}

You have to use the specific font options for math mode. Select the text in the math mode box and use this button on the math toolbar:

As far as I am aware, the only way to do this is to keep on turning bold off and on every time that you want to do this. The cleanest solution would be to define a new version of equation that automatically makes the equation number bold:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\renewcommand\theequation{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}
\newenvironment{boldequation}{\renewcommand\theequation{\textbf{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}}\equation}
   {\endequation}

\begin{boldequation} 1+1=2 \end{boldequation}

\begin{equation} 1+1=2 \end{equation}

\end{document}

which gives:

Alternatively, a cruder way of doing this is using "switches" like:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\newcommand\boldequations{\renewcommand\theequation{\textbf{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}}}
\newcommand\normalequations{\renewcommand\theequation{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}}

\boldequations
\begin{equation} 1+1=2 \end{equation}

\normalequations
\begin{equation} 1+1=2 \end{equation}

\end{document}

The output is the same.
