Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
3.5 + -4y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation.
3.5 + -4y + -3.5 + y2 = 0 + -3.5

Reorder the terms:
3.5 + -3.5 + -4y + y2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4y + y2 = 0 + -3.5
-4y + y2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.5 = -3.5
-4y + y2 = -3.5

The y term is -4y.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
