Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.25 + y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.25' to each side of the equation.
-1.25 + y + 1.25 + y2 = 0 + 1.25

Reorder the terms:
-1.25 + 1.25 + y + y2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + y + y2 = 0 + 1.25
y + y2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.25 = 1.25
y + y2 = 1.25

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + y2 = 1.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + y2 = 1.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + 0.25 = 1.5
1.25 + y2 = 1.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) = 1.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.224744871

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + 0.5) equal to 1.224744871 and -1.224744871.
