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

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.4 + -0.6y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.4' to each side of the equation.
-2.4 + -0.6y + 2.4 + y2 = 0 + 2.4

Reorder the terms:
-2.4 + 2.4 + -0.6y + y2 = 0 + 2.4

Combine like terms: -2.4 + 2.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.6y + y2 = 0 + 2.4
-0.6y + y2 = 0 + 2.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.4 = 2.4
-0.6y + y2 = 2.4

The y term is -0.6y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.3).
Square it (0.09) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.09' to each side of the equation.
-0.6y + 0.09 + y2 = 2.4 + 0.09

Reorder the terms:
0.09 + -0.6y + y2 = 2.4 + 0.09

Combine like terms: 2.4 + 0.09 = 2.49
0.09 + -0.6y + y2 = 2.49
