Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.25 + 0.25y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + 0.25y + 0.25 + y2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25y + y2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.25y + y2 = 0 + 0.25
0.25y + y2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
0.25y + y2 = 0.25

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.
0.25y + 0.25 + y2 = 0.25 + 0.25

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

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.5
0.25 + 0.25y + y2 = 0.5

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

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.707106781
