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
