Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
8 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + 0.5x + -8 + x2 = 0 + -8

Reorder the terms:
8 + -8 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + -8
0.5x + x2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
0.5x + x2 = -8

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.25 + x2 = -8 + 0.25
