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

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.48 + 1.6y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.48' to each side of the equation.
-0.48 + 1.6y + 0.48 + y2 = 0 + 0.48

Reorder the terms:
-0.48 + 0.48 + 1.6y + y2 = 0 + 0.48

Combine like terms: -0.48 + 0.48 = 0.00
0.00 + 1.6y + y2 = 0 + 0.48
1.6y + y2 = 0 + 0.48

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.48 = 0.48
1.6y + y2 = 0.48

The y term is 1.6y.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6y + 0.64 + y2 = 0.48 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6y + y2 = 0.48 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 0.48 + 0.64 = 1.12
0.64 + 1.6y + y2 = 1.12

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.8)(y + 0.8) = 1.12
