\frac{\frac{13}{2}y^{2}-39y}{\frac{13}{2}}=-\frac{\frac{325}{2}}{\frac{13}{2}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{13}{2}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
y^{2}+\left(-\frac{39}{\frac{13}{2}}\right)y=-\frac{\frac{325}{2}}{\frac{13}{2}}

y^{2}-6y+9=-25+9
Square -3.
y^{2}-6y+9=-16
Add -25 to 9.
\left(y-3\right)^{2}=-16
Factor y^{2}-6y+9. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(y-3\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{-16}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
