Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-8'.
-0.875 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.875' to each side of the equation.
-0.875 + -1x + 0.875 + x2 = 0 + 0.875

Reorder the terms:
-0.875 + 0.875 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 0.875

Combine like terms: -0.875 + 0.875 = 0.000
0.000 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 0.875
-1x + x2 = 0 + 0.875

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.875 = 0.875
-1x + x2 = 0.875

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 0.875 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 0.875 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.875 + 0.25 = 1.125
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 1.125
