Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-4 + 0.4y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 0.4y + 4 + y2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + 0.4y + y2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 0.4y + y2 = 0 + 4
0.4y + y2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
0.4y + y2 = 4

The y term is 0.4y.  Take half its coefficient (0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.4y + 0.04 + y2 = 4 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + 0.4y + y2 = 4 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.04 = 4.04
0.04 + 0.4y + y2 = 4.04
