Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-42.5 + 4y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '42.5' to each side of the equation.
-42.5 + 4y + 42.5 + y2 = 0 + 42.5

Reorder the terms:
-42.5 + 42.5 + 4y + y2 = 0 + 42.5

Combine like terms: -42.5 + 42.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4y + y2 = 0 + 42.5
4y + y2 = 0 + 42.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 42.5 = 42.5
4y + y2 = 42.5

The y term is 4y.  Take half its coefficient (2).
