Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-9 + -3.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-9 + -3.5y + 9 + y2 = 0 + 9

Reorder the terms:
-9 + 9 + -3.5y + y2 = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0
0 + -3.5y + y2 = 0 + 9
-3.5y + y2 = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: 0 + 9 = 9
-3.5y + y2 = 9

The y term is -3.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
-3.5y + 3.0625 + y2 = 9 + 3.0625
