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

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.0625 + 0.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.0625 + 0.25x + 0.0625 + x2 = 0 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
-0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: -0.0625 + 0.0625 = 0.0000
0.0000 + 0.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.0625
0.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.0625 = 0.0625
0.25x + x2 = 0.0625

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.
0.25x + 0.25 + x2 = 0.0625 + 0.25
