0 + -1y + y2 = 0 + 140
-1y + y2 = 0 + 140

Combine like terms: 0 + 140 = 140
-1y + y2 = 140

The y term is -1y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1y + 0.25 + y2 = 140 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1y + y2 = 140 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 140 + 0.25 = 140.25
0.25 + -1y + y2 = 140.25
