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

Divide each side by '4'.
0.625 + 1.75x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.625' to each side of the equation.
0.625 + 1.75x + -0.625 + x2 = 0 + -0.625

Reorder the terms:
0.625 + -0.625 + 1.75x + x2 = 0 + -0.625

Combine like terms: 0.625 + -0.625 = 0.000
0.000 + 1.75x + x2 = 0 + -0.625
1.75x + x2 = 0 + -0.625

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.625 = -0.625
1.75x + x2 = -0.625

The x term is 1.75x.  Take half its coefficient (0.875).
Square it (0.765625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.765625' to each side of the equation.
1.75x + 0.765625 + x2 = -0.625 + 0.765625

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.875) equal to 0.375 and -0.375.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.875 = 0.375 Simplifying x + 0.875 = 0.375 Reorder the terms: 0.875 + x = 0.375 Solving 0.875 + x = 0.375 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.875' to each side of the equation. 0.875 + -0.875 + x = 0.375 + -0.875 Combine like terms: 0.875 + -0.875 = 0.000 0.000 + x = 0.375 + -0.875 x = 0.375 + -0.875 Combine like terms: 0.375 + -0.875 = -0.5 x = -0.5 Simplifying x = -0.5

Subproblem 2

x + 0.875 = -0.375 Simplifying x + 0.875 = -0.375 Reorder the terms: 0.875 + x = -0.375 Solving 0.875 + x = -0.375 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.875' to each side of the equation. 0.875 + -0.875 + x = -0.375 + -0.875 Combine like terms: 0.875 + -0.875 = 0.000 0.000 + x = -0.375 + -0.875 x = -0.375 + -0.875 Combine like terms: -0.375 + -0.875 = -1.25 x = -1.25 Simplifying x = -1.25

Solution
