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'.
2 + 6y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + 6y + -2 + y2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + 6y + y2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 6y + y2 = 0 + -2
6y + y2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
6y + y2 = -2

The y term is 6y.  Take half its coefficient (3).
