4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.5 + -0.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -0.25x + 0.5 + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.5
-0.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-0.25x + x2 = 0.5

The x term is -0.25x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.125).
Square it (0.015625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.015625' to each side of the equation.
-0.25x + 0.015625 + x2 = 0.5 + 0.015625

Reorder the terms:
0.015625 + -0.25x + x2 = 0.5 + 0.015625

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 0.015625 = 0.515625
0.015625 + -0.25x + x2 = 0.515625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.125)(x + -0.125) = 0.515625

Add '0.125' to each side of the equation.
-0.125 + 0.125 + x = 0.718070331 + 0.125

Combine like terms: -0.125 + 0.125 = 0.000
0.000 + x = 0.718070331 + 0.125
x = 0.718070331 + 0.125

Combine like terms: 0.718070331 + 0.125 = 0.843070331
x = 0.843070331

Simplifying
x = 0.843070331


Subproblem 2
x + -0.125 = -0.718070331

Simplifying
x + -0.125 = -0.718070331

Reorder the terms:
-0.125 + x = -0.718070331

Solving
-0.125 + x = -0.718070331

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.125' to each side of the equation.
-0.125 + 0.125 + x = -0.718070331 + 0.125

Combine like terms: -0.125 + 0.125 = 0.000
0.000 + x = -0.718070331 + 0.125
x = -0.718070331 + 0.125

Combine like terms: -0.718070331 + 0.125 = -0.593070331
x = -0.593070331
