Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-2 + -0.75y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -0.75y + 2 + y2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -0.75y + y2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -0.75y + y2 = 0 + 2
-0.75y + y2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-0.75y + y2 = 2

The y term is -0.75y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.375).
Square it (0.140625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.140625' to each side of the equation.
-0.75y + 0.140625 + y2 = 2 + 0.140625

Reorder the terms:
0.140625 + -0.75y + y2 = 2 + 0.140625

Combine like terms: 2 + 0.140625 = 2.140625
0.140625 + -0.75y + y2 = 2.140625
