Please help in a way a year 9 could understand prove that there is no integer p such that the set p p plus 8 p plus 22 is prime?

If I read this properly, you want to know that:
{p | 9p+22 is prime} returns the empty set.
Gut reaction is that this is false, and quick observation shows that it is.
Let p=1
9 * 1 + 22 = 31 and prime. One counterexample is enough to prove falsehood. ■

What does the word prime factorization mean?
== Will you please answer my question?! Will you please answer my question?! == In number theory ( http://www.answers.com/topic/number-theory ), integer factorization is the process of breaking down a composite number ( http://www.answers.com/topic/composite-number ) into smaller non-trivial integers ( http://www.answers.com/topic/divisor-2 ), which when multiplied together equal the original integer. Source:integer-factorization== The prime factors of a positive integer are the prime numbers that divide into that integer exactly, without leaving a remainder.The process of finding these numbers is called integer factorization, or prime factorization.
