Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-7.5 + -1y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.5' to each side of the equation.
-7.5 + -1y + 7.5 + y2 = 0 + 7.5

Reorder the terms:
-7.5 + 7.5 + -1y + y2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1y + y2 = 0 + 7.5
-1y + y2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5
-1y + y2 = 7.5

The y term is -1y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1y + 0.25 + y2 = 7.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1y + y2 = 7.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 7.5 + 0.25 = 7.75
0.25 + -1y + y2 = 7.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -0.5)(y + -0.5) = 7.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.783882181
