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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.2 + 1.6y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation.
0.2 + 1.6y + -0.2 + y2 = 0 + -0.2

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -0.2 + 1.6y + y2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6y + y2 = 0 + -0.2
1.6y + y2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2
1.6y + y2 = -0.2

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 = -0.2 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6y + y2 = -0.2 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.64 = 0.44
0.64 + 1.6y + y2 = 0.44

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.8)(y + 0.8) = 0.44
