Something seems to be missing. Shouldn't there be limits of integration
where the limits depends on the variable 't' (Definite integral).
If you have limits then you can solve the equ in the following way:
<<Calculus`LaplaceTransform`;
eq[1] = type in your equ;
Solve[LaplaceTransform[eq[1],t,s],Y[s]][[1]];
InverseLaplaceTransform[Y[s] /. %,s,t]
