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

Divide each side by '4'.
3.75 + -5y2 + y4 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.75' to each side of the equation.
3.75 + -5y2 + -3.75 + y4 = 0 + -3.75

Reorder the terms:
3.75 + -3.75 + -5y2 + y4 = 0 + -3.75

Combine like terms: 3.75 + -3.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -5y2 + y4 = 0 + -3.75
-5y2 + y4 = 0 + -3.75

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.75 = -3.75
-5y2 + y4 = -3.75

The y term is -5y2.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5y2 + 6.25 + y4 = -3.75 + 6.25
