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

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.25' to each side of the equation.
-1.25 + 0.5x + 1.25 + x2 = 0 + 1.25

Reorder the terms:
-1.25 + 1.25 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.25
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.25 = 1.25
0.5x + x2 = 1.25

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 1.25 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 1.25 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 1.25 + 0.0625 = 1.3125
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 1.3125

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 1.3125
