Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
4 + -4.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4.5y + -4 + y2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + -4.5y + y2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -4.5y + y2 = 0 + -4
-4.5y + y2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-4.5y + y2 = -4

The y term is -4.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
