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

Divide each side by '-8'.
0.125 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.125' to each side of the equation.
0.125 + -1x + -0.125 + x2 = 0 + -0.125

Reorder the terms:
0.125 + -0.125 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -0.125

Combine like terms: 0.125 + -0.125 = 0.000
0.000 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -0.125
-1x + x2 = 0 + -0.125
