You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve: y+=+%28-1%2F10%29x%5E2%2B6???
You do understand, hopefully, that you cannot "solve" this equation unless you assign a value to y, in which case, you can then "solve" for x, or assign a value to x and "solve" for y..
This equation, however, can be graphed:
