Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
-0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + 0.5x + 0.25 + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.25
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
0.5x + x2 = 0.25

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 0.25 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.25 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.0625 = 0.3125
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.3125
