Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-3 + 0.8y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 0.8y + 3 + y2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + 0.8y + y2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 0.8y + y2 = 0 + 3
0.8y + y2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
0.8y + y2 = 3

The y term is 0.8y.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.8y + 0.16 + y2 = 3 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8y + y2 = 3 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 3 + 0.16 = 3.16
0.16 + 0.8y + y2 = 3.16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.4)(y + 0.4) = 3.16
