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 + 0.8y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 0.8y + 4 + y2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + 0.8y + y2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 0.8y + y2 = 0 + 4
0.8y + y2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
0.8y + y2 = 4

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 = 4 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8y + y2 = 4 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.16 = 4.16
0.16 + 0.8y + y2 = 4.16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.4)(y + 0.4) = 4.16
