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

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.375 + 0.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.375' to each side of the equation.
-0.375 + 0.25x + 0.375 + x2 = 0 + 0.375

Reorder the terms:
-0.375 + 0.375 + 0.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.375

Combine like terms: -0.375 + 0.375 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.375
0.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.375

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.375 = 0.375
0.25x + x2 = 0.375

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 = 0.375 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.25x + x2 = 0.375 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.375 + 0.25 = 0.625
0.25 + 0.25x + x2 = 0.625
