8 + 5y + 20y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '20'.
0.4 + 0.25y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + 0.25y + -0.4 + y2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + 0.25y + y2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.25y + y2 = 0 + -0.4
0.25y + y2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
0.25y + y2 = -0.4

The y term is 0.25y.  Take half its coefficient (0.125).
Square it (0.015625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.015625' to each side of the equation.
0.25y + 0.015625 + y2 = -0.4 + 0.015625

Reorder the terms:
0.015625 + 0.25y + y2 = -0.4 + 0.015625

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.015625 = -0.384375
0.015625 + 0.25y + y2 = -0.384375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.125)(y + 0.125) = -0.384375

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
