Solving for variable 'y'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.25 + 0.875y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + 0.875y + 0.25 + y2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + 0.875y + y2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.875y + y2 = 0 + 0.25
0.875y + y2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
0.875y + y2 = 0.25

The y term is 0.875y.  Take half its coefficient (0.4375).
Square it (0.19140625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.19140625' to each side of the equation.
0.875y + 0.19140625 + y2 = 0.25 + 0.19140625

Reorder the terms:
0.19140625 + 0.875y + y2 = 0.25 + 0.19140625

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.19140625 = 0.44140625
0.19140625 + 0.875y + y2 = 0.44140625
