4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.25 + 2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + 2.5x + 0.25 + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.25
2.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
2.5x + x2 = 0.25

The x term is 2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = 0.25 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5x + x2 = 0.25 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 1.5625 = 1.8125
1.5625 + 2.5x + x2 = 1.8125
