Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.4 + -1.2y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + -1.2y + 0.4 + y2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + -1.2y + y2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.2y + y2 = 0 + 0.4
-1.2y + y2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
-1.2y + y2 = 0.4

The y term is -1.2y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
-1.2y + 0.36 + y2 = 0.4 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + -1.2y + y2 = 0.4 + 0.36

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 0.36 = 0.76
0.36 + -1.2y + y2 = 0.76

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -0.6)(y + -0.6) = 0.76

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.871779789

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + -0.6) equal to 0.871779789 and -0.871779789.
