0.625 + b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.625' to each side of the equation.
0.625 + b + -0.625 + b2 = 0 + -0.625

Reorder the terms:
0.625 + -0.625 + b + b2 = 0 + -0.625

Combine like terms: 0.625 + -0.625 = 0.000
0.000 + b + b2 = 0 + -0.625
b + b2 = 0 + -0.625

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.625 = -0.625
b + b2 = -0.625

The b term is b.  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.
