8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '8'.
-1.125 + k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.125' to each side of the equation.
-1.125 + k + 1.125 + k2 = 0 + 1.125

Reorder the terms:
-1.125 + 1.125 + k + k2 = 0 + 1.125

Combine like terms: -1.125 + 1.125 = 0.000
0.000 + k + k2 = 0 + 1.125
k + k2 = 0 + 1.125

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.125 = 1.125
k + k2 = 1.125

The k term is k.  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.
 + 0.25 + k2 = 1.125 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + k2 = 1.125 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.125 + 0.25 = 1.375
1.25 + k2 = 1.375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 0.5)(k + 0.5) = 1.375

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.17260394

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(k + 0.5) equal to 1.17260394 and -1.17260394.

Subproblem 1

k + 0.5 = 1.17260394 Simplifying k + 0.5 = 1.17260394 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + k = 1.17260394 Solving 0.5 + k = 1.17260394 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + k = 1.17260394 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + k = 1.17260394 + -0.5 k = 1.17260394 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.17260394 + -0.5 = 0.67260394 k = 0.67260394 Simplifying k = 0.67260394

Subproblem 2

k + 0.5 = -1.17260394 Simplifying k + 0.5 = -1.17260394 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + k = -1.17260394 Solving 0.5 + k = -1.17260394 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + k = -1.17260394 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + k = -1.17260394 + -0.5 k = -1.17260394 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.17260394 + -0.5 = -1.67260394 k = -1.67260394 Simplifying k = -1.67260394
