Subtract \frac{325}{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\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}}
Dividing by \frac{13}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{13}{2}.

Divide -\frac{325}{2} by \frac{13}{2} by multiplying -\frac{325}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{13}{2}.
y^{2}-6y+\left(-3\right)^{2}=-25+\left(-3\right)^{2}
Divide -6, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -3. Then add the square of -3 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
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.
y-3=4i y-3=-4i
Simplify.
y=3+4i y=3-4i
Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
