Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.6 + 1.6y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6' to each side of the equation.
-0.6 + 1.6y + 0.6 + y2 = 0 + 0.6

Reorder the terms:
-0.6 + 0.6 + 1.6y + y2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6y + y2 = 0 + 0.6
1.6y + y2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.6 = 0.6
1.6y + y2 = 0.6

The y term is 1.6y.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6y + 0.64 + y2 = 0.6 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6y + y2 = 0.6 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 0.6 + 0.64 = 1.24
0.64 + 1.6y + y2 = 1.24

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.8)(y + 0.8) = 1.24

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.113552873

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + 0.8) equal to 1.113552873 and -1.113552873.

Subproblem 1

y + 0.8 = 1.113552873 Simplifying y + 0.8 = 1.113552873 Reorder the terms: 0.8 + y = 1.113552873 Solving 0.8 + y = 1.113552873 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation. 0.8 + -0.8 + y = 1.113552873 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0 0.0 + y = 1.113552873 + -0.8 y = 1.113552873 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 1.113552873 + -0.8 = 0.313552873 y = 0.313552873 Simplifying y = 0.313552873

Subproblem 2

y + 0.8 = -1.113552873 Simplifying y + 0.8 = -1.113552873 Reorder the terms: 0.8 + y = -1.113552873 Solving 0.8 + y = -1.113552873 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation. 0.8 + -0.8 + y = -1.113552873 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0 0.0 + y = -1.113552873 + -0.8 y = -1.113552873 + -0.8 Combine like terms: -1.113552873 + -0.8 = -1.913552873 y = -1.913552873 Simplifying y = -1.913552873
