Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-5.5 + y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5.5' to each side of the equation.
-5.5 + y + 5.5 + y2 = 0 + 5.5

Reorder the terms:
-5.5 + 5.5 + y + y2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: -5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0
0.0 + y + y2 = 0 + 5.5
y + y2 = 0 + 5.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5.5 = 5.5
y + y2 = 5.5

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 = 5.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + y2 = 5.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 5.5 + 0.25 = 5.75
1.25 + y2 = 5.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) = 5.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.397915762
