Solving for variable 'y'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

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