-1.125 + -1.25y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.125' to each side of the equation.
-1.125 + -1.25y + 1.125 + y2 = 0 + 1.125

Reorder the terms:
-1.125 + 1.125 + -1.25y + y2 = 0 + 1.125

Combine like terms: -1.125 + 1.125 = 0.000
0.000 + -1.25y + y2 = 0 + 1.125
-1.25y + y2 = 0 + 1.125

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.125 = 1.125
-1.25y + y2 = 1.125

The y term is -1.25y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.625).
Square it (0.390625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.390625' to each side of the equation.
-1.25y + 0.390625 + y2 = 1.125 + 0.390625
