4 + 5y + 2y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
2 + 2.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + 2.5y + -2 + y2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + 2.5y + y2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 2.5y + y2 = 0 + -2
2.5y + y2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
2.5y + y2 = -2

The y term is 2.5y.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5y + 1.5625 + y2 = -2 + 1.5625
