Simplifying
y + -1y2 = -4

Solving
y + -1y2 = -4

Solving for variable 'y'.

Reorder the terms:
4 + y + -1y2 = -4 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
4 + y + -1y2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
-4 + -1y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -1y + 4 + y2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -1y + y2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -1y + y2 = 0 + 4
-1y + y2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-1y + y2 = 4

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 = 4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1y + y2 = 4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.25 = 4.25
0.25 + -1y + y2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) = 4.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.061552813

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + 0.5) equal to 2.061552813 and -2.061552813.

Subproblem 1

y + 0.5 = 2.061552813 Simplifying y + 0.5 = 2.061552813 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + y = 2.061552813 Solving 0.5 + y = 2.061552813 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 = 2.061552813 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + y = 2.061552813 + -0.5 y = 2.061552813 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 2.061552813 + -0.5 = 1.561552813 y = 1.561552813 Simplifying y = 1.561552813

Subproblem 2
