Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
10 + -10.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10.5y + -10 + y2 = 0 + -10

Reorder the terms:
10 + -10 + -10.5y + y2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -10.5y + y2 = 0 + -10
-10.5y + y2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-10.5y + y2 = -10

The y term is -10.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-5.25).
Square it (27.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '27.5625' to each side of the equation.
-10.5y + 27.5625 + y2 = -10 + 27.5625

Reorder the terms:
27.5625 + -10.5y + y2 = -10 + 27.5625

Combine like terms: -10 + 27.5625 = 17.5625
27.5625 + -10.5y + y2 = 17.5625
