17 + -28y + 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'.
0.85 + -1.4y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.85' to each side of the equation.
0.85 + -1.4y + -0.85 + y2 = 0 + -0.85

Reorder the terms:
0.85 + -0.85 + -1.4y + y2 = 0 + -0.85

Combine like terms: 0.85 + -0.85 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.4y + y2 = 0 + -0.85
-1.4y + y2 = 0 + -0.85

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.85 = -0.85
-1.4y + y2 = -0.85

The y term is -1.4y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4y + 0.49 + y2 = -0.85 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4y + y2 = -0.85 + 0.49

Combine like terms: -0.85 + 0.49 = -0.36
0.49 + -1.4y + y2 = -0.36

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -0.7)(y + -0.7) = -0.36

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
