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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.6 + -0.2y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6' to each side of the equation.
-0.6 + -0.2y + 0.6 + y2 = 0 + 0.6

Reorder the terms:
-0.6 + 0.6 + -0.2y + y2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2y + y2 = 0 + 0.6
-0.2y + y2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.6 = 0.6
-0.2y + y2 = 0.6

The y term is -0.2y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
-0.2y + 0.01 + y2 = 0.6 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + -0.2y + y2 = 0.6 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0.6 + 0.01 = 0.61
0.01 + -0.2y + y2 = 0.61

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -0.1)(y + -0.1) = 0.61

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.781024968

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + -0.1) equal to 0.781024968 and -0.781024968.

Subproblem 1

y + -0.1 = 0.781024968 Simplifying y + -0.1 = 0.781024968 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + y = 0.781024968 Solving -0.1 + y = 0.781024968 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + y = 0.781024968 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + y = 0.781024968 + 0.1 y = 0.781024968 + 0.1 Combine like terms: 0.781024968 + 0.1 = 0.881024968 y = 0.881024968 Simplifying y = 0.881024968

Subproblem 2

y + -0.1 = -0.781024968 Simplifying y + -0.1 = -0.781024968 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + y = -0.781024968 Solving -0.1 + y = -0.781024968 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + y = -0.781024968 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + y = -0.781024968 + 0.1 y = -0.781024968 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.781024968 + 0.1 = -0.681024968 y = -0.681024968 Simplifying y = -0.681024968
