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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.25 + -0.875n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + -0.875n + 0.25 + n2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + -0.875n + n2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.875n + n2 = 0 + 0.25
-0.875n + n2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
-0.875n + n2 = 0.25

The n term is -0.875n.  Take half its coefficient (-0.4375).
