Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.25 + 0.375k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + 0.375k + 0.25 + k2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + 0.375k + k2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.375k + k2 = 0 + 0.25
0.375k + k2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
0.375k + k2 = 0.25

The k term is 0.375k.  Take half its coefficient (0.1875).
Square it (0.03515625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.03515625' to each side of the equation.
0.375k + 0.03515625 + k2 = 0.25 + 0.03515625

Reorder the terms:
0.03515625 + 0.375k + k2 = 0.25 + 0.03515625

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.03515625 = 0.28515625
0.03515625 + 0.375k + k2 = 0.28515625
