Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '-2'.
-0.5 + 2y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 2y + 0.5 + y2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 2y + y2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2y + y2 = 0 + 0.5
2y + y2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
2y + y2 = 0.5

The y term is 2y.  Take half its coefficient (1).
