1.25 + 0.75x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation.
1.25 + 0.75x + -1.25 + x2 = 0 + -1.25

Reorder the terms:
1.25 + -1.25 + 0.75x + x2 = 0 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.75x + x2 = 0 + -1.25
0.75x + x2 = 0 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.25 = -1.25
0.75x + x2 = -1.25

The x term is 0.75x.  Take half its coefficient (0.375).
Square it (0.140625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.140625' to each side of the equation.
