(4 * y + y * y) + -1y = 6
(4y + y2) + -1y = 6

Reorder the terms:
4y + -1y + y2 = 6

Combine like terms: 4y + -1y = 3y
3y + y2 = 6

Solving
3y + y2 = 6

Solving for variable 'y'.

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 3y + y2 = 6 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
-6 + 3y + y2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 3y + 6 + y2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 3y + y2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 3y + y2 = 0 + 6
3y + y2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
3y + y2 = 6

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 = 6 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3y + y2 = 6 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 6 + 2.25 = 8.25
2.25 + 3y + y2 = 8.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 1.5)(y + 1.5) = 8.25
