Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
4.25 + 3.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4.25' to each side of the equation.
4.25 + 3.5y + -4.25 + y2 = 0 + -4.25

Reorder the terms:
4.25 + -4.25 + 3.5y + y2 = 0 + -4.25

Combine like terms: 4.25 + -4.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 3.5y + y2 = 0 + -4.25
3.5y + y2 = 0 + -4.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -4.25 = -4.25
3.5y + y2 = -4.25

The y term is 3.5y.  Take half its coefficient (1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
3.5y + 3.0625 + y2 = -4.25 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + 3.5y + y2 = -4.25 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: -4.25 + 3.0625 = -1.1875
3.0625 + 3.5y + y2 = -1.1875

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 1.75)(y + 1.75) = -1.1875

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
