Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.05x + x2 = 0 + 0.25
0.05x + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
0.05x + x2 = 0.25

The x term is 0.05x.  Take half its coefficient (0.025).
Square it (0.000625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.000625' to each side of the equation.
0.05x + 0.000625 + x2 = 0.25 + 0.000625

Reorder the terms:
0.000625 + 0.05x + x2 = 0.25 + 0.000625

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.000625 = 0.250625
0.000625 + 0.05x + x2 = 0.250625
