Solving for variable 'y'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-8.75' to each side of the equation.
8.75 + 6y + -8.75 + y2 = 0 + -8.75

Reorder the terms:
8.75 + -8.75 + 6y + y2 = 0 + -8.75

Combine like terms: 8.75 + -8.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 6y + y2 = 0 + -8.75
6y + y2 = 0 + -8.75

Combine like terms: 0 + -8.75 = -8.75
6y + y2 = -8.75

The y term is 6y.  Take half its coefficient (3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
6y + 9 + y2 = -8.75 + 9

Reorder the terms:
9 + 6y + y2 = -8.75 + 9

Combine like terms: -8.75 + 9 = 0.25
9 + 6y + y2 = 0.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 3)(y + 3) = 0.25
