You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What did you mean by..."solve"?
You have an expression here and expressions aren't solved but they could be evaluated or perhaps simplified.
Since your expression is a trinomial, perhaps you are meant to "factor" the expression. So let's do that:
Factor:
y%5E2+-+9y+-+22+=+%28y+%2B+2%29%28y+-+11%29
