Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.3 + -1.4y2 + y4 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.3' to each side of the equation.
0.3 + -1.4y2 + -0.3 + y4 = 0 + -0.3

Reorder the terms:
0.3 + -0.3 + -1.4y2 + y4 = 0 + -0.3

Combine like terms: 0.3 + -0.3 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4y2 + y4 = 0 + -0.3
-1.4y2 + y4 = 0 + -0.3

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.3 = -0.3
-1.4y2 + y4 = -0.3

The y term is -1.4y2.  Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4y2 + 0.49 + y4 = -0.3 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4y2 + y4 = -0.3 + 0.49

Combine like terms: -0.3 + 0.49 = 0.19
0.49 + -1.4y2 + y4 = 0.19

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y2 + -0.7)(y2 + -0.7) = 0.19
