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

Divide each side by '-8'.
-0.625 + 2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.625' to each side of the equation.
-0.625 + 2x + 0.625 + x2 = 0 + 0.625

Reorder the terms:
-0.625 + 0.625 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 0.625

Combine like terms: -0.625 + 0.625 = 0.000
