Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-4.5 + -0.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.5' to each side of the equation.
-4.5 + -0.5y + 4.5 + y2 = 0 + 4.5

Reorder the terms:
-4.5 + 4.5 + -0.5y + y2 = 0 + 4.5

Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5y + y2 = 0 + 4.5
-0.5y + y2 = 0 + 4.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.5 = 4.5
-0.5y + y2 = 4.5

The y term is -0.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5y + 0.0625 + y2 = 4.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5y + y2 = 4.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 4.5 + 0.0625 = 4.5625
0.0625 + -0.5y + y2 = 4.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -0.25)(y + -0.25) = 4.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.136000936

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + -0.25) equal to 2.136000936 and -2.136000936.
