Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-8'.
-0.375 + 2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.375' to each side of the equation.
-0.375 + 2x + 0.375 + x2 = 0 + 0.375

Reorder the terms:
-0.375 + 0.375 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 0.375

Combine like terms: -0.375 + 0.375 = 0.000
0.000 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 0.375
2x + x2 = 0 + 0.375

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.375 = 0.375
2x + x2 = 0.375

The x term is 2x.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2x + 1 + x2 = 0.375 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2x + x2 = 0.375 + 1

Combine like terms: 0.375 + 1 = 1.375
1 + 2x + x2 = 1.375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1)(x + 1) = 1.375

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.17260394

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1) equal to 1.17260394 and -1.17260394.

Subproblem 1

x + 1 = 1.17260394 Simplifying x + 1 = 1.17260394 Reorder the terms: 1 + x = 1.17260394 Solving 1 + x = 1.17260394 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = 1.17260394 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = 1.17260394 + -1 x = 1.17260394 + -1 Combine like terms: 1.17260394 + -1 = 0.17260394 x = 0.17260394 Simplifying x = 0.17260394
