-0.25 + -0.75y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + -0.75y + 0.25 + y2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + -0.75y + y2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.75y + y2 = 0 + 0.25
-0.75y + y2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
-0.75y + y2 = 0.25

The y term is -0.75y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.375).
Square it (0.140625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.140625' to each side of the equation.
-0.75y + 0.140625 + y2 = 0.25 + 0.140625

Reorder the terms:
0.140625 + -0.75y + y2 = 0.25 + 0.140625

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.140625 = 0.390625
0.140625 + -0.75y + y2 = 0.390625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -0.375)(y + -0.375) = 0.390625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.625

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + -0.375) equal to 0.625 and -0.625.

Subproblem 1

y + -0.375 = 0.625 Simplifying y + -0.375 = 0.625 Reorder the terms: -0.375 + y = 0.625 Solving -0.375 + y = 0.625 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.375' to each side of the equation. -0.375 + 0.375 + y = 0.625 + 0.375 Combine like terms: -0.375 + 0.375 = 0.000 0.000 + y = 0.625 + 0.375 y = 0.625 + 0.375 Combine like terms: 0.625 + 0.375 = 1 y = 1 Simplifying y = 1

Subproblem 2

y + -0.375 = -0.625 Simplifying y + -0.375 = -0.625 Reorder the terms: -0.375 + y = -0.625 Solving -0.375 + y = -0.625 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.375' to each side of the equation. -0.375 + 0.375 + y = -0.625 + 0.375 Combine like terms: -0.375 + 0.375 = 0.000 0.000 + y = -0.625 + 0.375 y = -0.625 + 0.375 Combine like terms: -0.625 + 0.375 = -0.25 y = -0.25 Simplifying y = -0.25
