Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-1 + y + y2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1 + y + y2 = 0

Solving
-1 + y + y2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + y + 1 + y2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + y + y2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + y + y2 = 0 + 1
y + y2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
y + y2 = 1

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.
y + 0.25 + y2 = 1 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + y + y2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
0.25 + y + y2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) = 1.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.118033989

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + 0.5) equal to 1.118033989 and -1.118033989.

Subproblem 1
y + 0.5 = 1.118033989

Simplifying
y + 0.5 = 1.118033989

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + y = 1.118033989

Solving
0.5 + y = 1.118033989

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + y = 1.118033989 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + y = 1.118033989 + -0.5
y = 1.118033989 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 1.118033989 + -0.5 = 0.618033989
y = 0.618033989

Simplifying
y = 0.618033989

Subproblem 2
y + 0.5 = -1.118033989

Simplifying
y + 0.5 = -1.118033989

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + y = -1.118033989

Solving
0.5 + y = -1.118033989

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + y = -1.118033989 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + y = -1.118033989 + -0.5
y = -1.118033989 + -0.5

Combine like terms: -1.118033989 + -0.5 = -1.618033989
y = -1.618033989

Simplifying
y = -1.618033989

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
y = {0.618033989, -1.618033989}
Solution
y = {0.618033989, -1.618033989}
