You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you cannot solve it since it isn't an equation...no equals sign.

You can multiply out the brackets if you wanted to:
+%28x%5E2+%2B+2y%29%28x%5E2+-+2y%29+
+x%5E2%2Ax%5E2+-+2x%5E2y+%2B+2x%5E2y+-+2y%2A2y+
+x%5E4+-+4y%5E2+

This is just a simpler version of what you started with...not a solution ie no "x equals..."
