8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.875 + 0.75X + X2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.875' to each side of the equation.
-0.875 + 0.75X + 0.875 + X2 = 0 + 0.875

Reorder the terms:
-0.875 + 0.875 + 0.75X + X2 = 0 + 0.875

Combine like terms: -0.875 + 0.875 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.75X + X2 = 0 + 0.875
0.75X + X2 = 0 + 0.875

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.875 = 0.875
0.75X + X2 = 0.875

The X term is 0.75X.  Take half its coefficient (0.375).
Square it (0.140625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.140625' to each side of the equation.
0.75X + 0.140625 + X2 = 0.875 + 0.140625

Reorder the terms:
0.140625 + 0.75X + X2 = 0.875 + 0.140625

Combine like terms: 0.875 + 0.140625 = 1.015625
0.140625 + 0.75X + X2 = 1.015625
