Solving for variable 'y'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
-1.25 + 5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.25' to each side of the equation.
-1.25 + 5y + 1.25 + y2 = 0 + 1.25

Reorder the terms:
-1.25 + 1.25 + 5y + y2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 5y + y2 = 0 + 1.25
5y + y2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.25 = 1.25
5y + y2 = 1.25

The y term is 5y.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5y + 6.25 + y2 = 1.25 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5y + y2 = 1.25 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + 6.25 = 7.5
6.25 + 5y + y2 = 7.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 2.5)(y + 2.5) = 7.5
