Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-4 + 0.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 0.5y + 4 + y2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + 0.5y + y2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 0.5y + y2 = 0 + 4
0.5y + y2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
0.5y + y2 = 4

The y term is y.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
