Solving for variable 'b'.

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

Divide each side by '-8'.
-0.125 + 0.625b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.125' to each side of the equation.
-0.125 + 0.625b + 0.125 + b2 = 0 + 0.125

Reorder the terms:
-0.125 + 0.125 + 0.625b + b2 = 0 + 0.125

Combine like terms: -0.125 + 0.125 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.625b + b2 = 0 + 0.125
0.625b + b2 = 0 + 0.125

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.125 = 0.125
0.625b + b2 = 0.125

The b term is 0.625b.  Take half its coefficient (0.3125).
Square it (0.09765625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.09765625' to each side of the equation.
0.625b + 0.09765625 + b2 = 0.125 + 0.09765625

Reorder the terms:
0.09765625 + 0.625b + b2 = 0.125 + 0.09765625

Combine like terms: 0.125 + 0.09765625 = 0.22265625
0.09765625 + 0.625b + b2 = 0.22265625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + 0.3125)(b + 0.3125) = 0.22265625
