Solving for variable 'h'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.25 + -0.625h + h2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + -0.625h + 0.25 + h2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + -0.625h + h2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.625h + h2 = 0 + 0.25
-0.625h + h2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
-0.625h + h2 = 0.25

The h term is -0.625h.  Take half its coefficient (-0.3125).
Square it (0.09765625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.09765625' to each side of the equation.
-0.625h + 0.09765625 + h2 = 0.25 + 0.09765625

Reorder the terms:
0.09765625 + -0.625h + h2 = 0.25 + 0.09765625

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.09765625 = 0.34765625
0.09765625 + -0.625h + h2 = 0.34765625
