8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.375 + 1.125u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.375' to each side of the equation.
-0.375 + 1.125u + 0.375 + u2 = 0 + 0.375

Reorder the terms:
-0.375 + 0.375 + 1.125u + u2 = 0 + 0.375

Combine like terms: -0.375 + 0.375 = 0.000
0.000 + 1.125u + u2 = 0 + 0.375
1.125u + u2 = 0 + 0.375

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.375 = 0.375
1.125u + u2 = 0.375

The u term is 1.125u.  Take half its coefficient (0.5625).
Square it (0.31640625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.31640625' to each side of the equation.
1.125u + 0.31640625 + u2 = 0.375 + 0.31640625

Reorder the terms:
0.31640625 + 1.125u + u2 = 0.375 + 0.31640625

Combine like terms: 0.375 + 0.31640625 = 0.69140625
0.31640625 + 1.125u + u2 = 0.69140625
