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 + -5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5.5' to each side of the equation.
5.5 + -5y + -5.5 + y2 = 0 + -5.5

Reorder the terms:
5.5 + -5.5 + -5y + y2 = 0 + -5.5

Combine like terms: 5.5 + -5.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -5y + y2 = 0 + -5.5
-5y + y2 = 0 + -5.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5.5 = -5.5
-5y + y2 = -5.5

The y term is -5y.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5y + 6.25 + y2 = -5.5 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5y + y2 = -5.5 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -5.5 + 6.25 = 0.75
6.25 + -5y + y2 = 0.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -2.5)(y + -2.5) = 0.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.866025404
