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 + -7.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + -7.5y + 6 + y2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + -7.5y + y2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -7.5y + y2 = 0 + 6
-7.5y + y2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
-7.5y + y2 = 6

The y term is -7.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-3.75).
Square it (14.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '14.0625' to each side of the equation.
-7.5y + 14.0625 + y2 = 6 + 14.0625

Reorder the terms:
14.0625 + -7.5y + y2 = 6 + 14.0625

Combine like terms: 6 + 14.0625 = 20.0625
14.0625 + -7.5y + y2 = 20.0625
