Solving for variable 'y'.

Combine like terms: y2 + -1y2 = 0
8 + y + -1y2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-8 + -1y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + -1y + 8 + y2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + -1y + y2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + -1y + y2 = 0 + 8
-1y + y2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8
-1y + y2 = 8

The y term is y.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1y + 0.25 + y2 = 8 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1y + y2 = 8 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 8 + 0.25 = 8.25
0.25 + -1y + y2 = 8.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) = 8.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.872281323

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + 0.5) equal to 2.872281323 and -2.872281323.

Subproblem 1

y + 0.5 = 2.872281323 Simplifying y + 0.5 = 2.872281323 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + y = 2.872281323 Solving 0.5 + y = 2.872281323 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + y = 2.872281323 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + y = 2.872281323 + -0.5 y = 2.872281323 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 2.872281323 + -0.5 = 2.372281323 y = 2.372281323 Simplifying y = 2.372281323

Subproblem 2

y + 0.5 = -2.872281323 Simplifying y + 0.5 = -2.872281323 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + y = -2.872281323 Solving 0.5 + y = -2.872281323 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + y = -2.872281323 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + y = -2.872281323 + -0.5 y = -2.872281323 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -2.872281323 + -0.5 = -3.372281323 y = -3.372281323 Simplifying y = -3.372281323

Solution
