Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '16'.
-0.1875 + y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1875' to each side of the equation.
-0.1875 + y + 0.1875 + y2 = 0 + 0.1875

Reorder the terms:
-0.1875 + 0.1875 + y + y2 = 0 + 0.1875

Combine like terms: -0.1875 + 0.1875 = 0.0000
0.0000 + y + y2 = 0 + 0.1875
y + y2 = 0 + 0.1875

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1875 = 0.1875
y + y2 = 0.1875

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + y2 = 0.1875 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + y2 = 0.1875 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.1875 + 0.25 = 0.4375
1.25 + y2 = 0.4375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) = 0.4375

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.661437828
