Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-8 + 0.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + 0.5y + 8 + y2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + 0.5y + y2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + 0.5y + y2 = 0 + 8
0.5y + y2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8
0.5y + y2 = 8

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.
0.5y + 0.25 + y2 = 8 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5y + y2 = 8 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 8 + 0.25 = 8.25
0.25 + 0.5y + y2 = 8.25
