Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2.5'.
-3.2 + 2.4y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.2' to each side of the equation.
-3.2 + 2.4y + 3.2 + y2 = 0 + 3.2

Reorder the terms:
-3.2 + 3.2 + 2.4y + y2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: -3.2 + 3.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.4y + y2 = 0 + 3.2
2.4y + y2 = 0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.2 = 3.2
2.4y + y2 = 3.2

The y term is 2.4y.  Take half its coefficient (1.2).
Square it (1.44) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.44' to each side of the equation.
2.4y + 1.44 + y2 = 3.2 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + 2.4y + y2 = 3.2 + 1.44

Combine like terms: 3.2 + 1.44 = 4.64
1.44 + 2.4y + y2 = 4.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 1.2)(y + 1.2) = 4.64
