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

Divide each side by '0.25'.
400 + 80x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-400' to each side of the equation.
400 + 80x + -400 + x2 = 0 + -400

Reorder the terms:
400 + -400 + 80x + x2 = 0 + -400

Combine like terms: 400 + -400 = 0
0 + 80x + x2 = 0 + -400
80x + x2 = 0 + -400

Combine like terms: 0 + -400 = -400
80x + x2 = -400

The x term is 80x.  Take half its coefficient (40).
Square it (1600) and add it to both sides.

Add '1600' to each side of the equation.
80x + 1600 + x2 = -400 + 1600
