5 + 10y + 0.5y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
10 + 20y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + 20y + -10 + y2 = 0 + -10

Reorder the terms:
10 + -10 + 20y + y2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 20y + y2 = 0 + -10
20y + y2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
20y + y2 = -10

The y term is 20y.  Take half its coefficient (10).
Square it (100) and add it to both sides.

Add '100' to each side of the equation.
20y + 100 + y2 = -10 + 100

Reorder the terms:
100 + 20y + y2 = -10 + 100

Combine like terms: -10 + 100 = 90
100 + 20y + y2 = 90

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 10)(y + 10) = 90
