Divide each side by '4'.
0.75 + -0.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.75' to each side of the equation.
0.75 + -0.25x + -0.75 + x2 = 0 + -0.75

Reorder the terms:
0.75 + -0.75 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + -0.75

Combine like terms: 0.75 + -0.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.25x + x2 = 0 + -0.75
-0.25x + x2 = 0 + -0.75

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.75 = -0.75
-0.25x + x2 = -0.75

The x term is -0.25x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.125).
