Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
6 + -6.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6.5y + -6 + y2 = 0 + -6

Reorder the terms:
6 + -6 + -6.5y + y2 = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -6.5y + y2 = 0 + -6
-6.5y + y2 = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
-6.5y + y2 = -6

The y term is -6.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-3.25).
