Solving for variable 'y'.

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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

The y term is -0.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5y + 0.0625 + y2 = 2 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5y + y2 = 2 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 2 + 0.0625 = 2.0625
0.0625 + -0.5y + y2 = 2.0625
