Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.6 + -1.8y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + -1.8y + 1.6 + y2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + -1.8y + y2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.8y + y2 = 0 + 1.6
-1.8y + y2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
-1.8y + y2 = 1.6

The y term is -1.8y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.9).
Square it (0.81) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.81' to each side of the equation.
-1.8y + 0.81 + y2 = 1.6 + 0.81

Reorder the terms:
0.81 + -1.8y + y2 = 1.6 + 0.81

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.81 = 2.41
0.81 + -1.8y + y2 = 2.41

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -0.9)(y + -0.9) = 2.41

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.55241747
