Solving
-5 + -3y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + -3y + 5 + y2 = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 5 + -3y + y2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -3y + y2 = 0 + 5
-3y + y2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-3y + y2 = 5

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 = 5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3y + y2 = 5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 5 + 2.25 = 7.25
2.25 + -3y + y2 = 7.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -1.5)(y + -1.5) = 7.25
