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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.4 + -1.6y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + -1.6y + -0.4 + y2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + -1.6y + y2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.6y + y2 = 0 + -0.4
-1.6y + y2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
-1.6y + y2 = -0.4

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 = -0.4 + 0.64
