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

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

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 = 1.6 + 0.64

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

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.64 = 2.24
0.64 + 1.6y + y2 = 2.24
