8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '8'.
2.125 + 1.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.125' to each side of the equation.
2.125 + 1.5y + -2.125 + y2 = 0 + -2.125

Reorder the terms:
2.125 + -2.125 + 1.5y + y2 = 0 + -2.125

Combine like terms: 2.125 + -2.125 = 0.000
0.000 + 1.5y + y2 = 0 + -2.125
1.5y + y2 = 0 + -2.125

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.125 = -2.125
1.5y + y2 = -2.125

The y term is 1.5y.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5y + 0.5625 + y2 = -2.125 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5y + y2 = -2.125 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: -2.125 + 0.5625 = -1.5625
0.5625 + 1.5y + y2 = -1.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.75)(y + 0.75) = -1.5625

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
