Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + -3y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -3y + -0.5 + y2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -3y + y2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3y + y2 = 0 + -0.5
-3y + y2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-3y + y2 = -0.5

The y term is -3y.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3y + 2.25 + y2 = -0.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3y + y2 = -0.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 2.25 = 1.75
2.25 + -3y + y2 = 1.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -1.5)(y + -1.5) = 1.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.322875656
