Divide each side by '12'.
-0.08333333333 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.08333333333' to each side of the equation.
-0.08333333333 + -0.5x + 0.08333333333 + x2 = 0 + 0.08333333333

Reorder the terms:
-0.08333333333 + 0.08333333333 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.08333333333

Combine like terms: -0.08333333333 + 0.08333333333 = 0.00000000000
0.00000000000 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.08333333333
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.08333333333

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.08333333333 = 0.08333333333
-0.5x + x2 = 0.08333333333

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.
