16 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '16'.
-0.4375 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4375' to each side of the equation.
-0.4375 + 0.5x + 0.4375 + x2 = 0 + 0.4375

Reorder the terms:
-0.4375 + 0.4375 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.4375

Combine like terms: -0.4375 + 0.4375 = 0.0000
0.0000 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.4375
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.4375

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4375 = 0.4375
0.5x + x2 = 0.4375

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

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 0.4375 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.4375 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 0.4375 + 0.0625 = 0.5
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.5
