-8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-8'.
-0.625 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.625' to each side of the equation.
-0.625 + -0.5x + 0.625 + x2 = 0 + 0.625

Reorder the terms:
-0.625 + 0.625 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.625

Combine like terms: -0.625 + 0.625 = 0.000
0.000 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.625
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.625

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.625 = 0.625
-0.5x + x2 = 0.625

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
