Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-1.5 + -4.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -4.5y + 1.5 + y2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -4.5y + y2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4.5y + y2 = 0 + 1.5
-4.5y + y2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-4.5y + y2 = 1.5

The y term is -4.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5y + 5.0625 + y2 = 1.5 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5y + y2 = 1.5 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 5.0625 = 6.5625
5.0625 + -4.5y + y2 = 6.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -2.25)(y + -2.25) = 6.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.561737691

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + -2.25) equal to 2.561737691 and -2.561737691.
