Solving for variable 'y'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
7.5 + -3.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-7.5' to each side of the equation.
7.5 + -3.5y + -7.5 + y2 = 0 + -7.5

Reorder the terms:
7.5 + -7.5 + -3.5y + y2 = 0 + -7.5

Combine like terms: 7.5 + -7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.5y + y2 = 0 + -7.5
-3.5y + y2 = 0 + -7.5
