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

Divide each side by '16'.
0.1875 + 1.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.1875' to each side of the equation.
0.1875 + 1.5x + -0.1875 + x2 = 0 + -0.1875

Reorder the terms:
0.1875 + -0.1875 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.1875

Combine like terms: 0.1875 + -0.1875 = 0.0000
0.0000 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.1875
1.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.1875

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.1875 = -0.1875
1.5x + x2 = -0.1875

The x term is 1.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = -0.1875 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = -0.1875 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: -0.1875 + 0.5625 = 0.375
0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 0.375
