Solving for variable 'y'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -3y + -20 + y2 = 0 + -20

Reorder the terms:
20 + -20 + -3y + y2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + -3y + y2 = 0 + -20
-3y + y2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 0 + -20 = -20
-3y + y2 = -20

The y term is -3y.  Take half its coefficient (-1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3y + 2.25 + y2 = -20 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3y + y2 = -20 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -20 + 2.25 = -17.75
2.25 + -3y + y2 = -17.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -1.5)(y + -1.5) = -17.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
