-21 + 28y + 4y2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-5.25 + 7y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5.25' to each side of the equation.
-5.25 + 7y + 5.25 + y2 = 0 + 5.25

Reorder the terms:
-5.25 + 5.25 + 7y + y2 = 0 + 5.25

Combine like terms: -5.25 + 5.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 7y + y2 = 0 + 5.25
7y + y2 = 0 + 5.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 5.25 = 5.25
7y + y2 = 5.25

The y term is 7y.  Take half its coefficient (3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
7y + 12.25 + y2 = 5.25 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7y + y2 = 5.25 + 12.25

Combine like terms: 5.25 + 12.25 = 17.5
12.25 + 7y + y2 = 17.5
