Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
0.25 + -2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + -2x + -0.25 + x2 = 0 + -0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -0.25
-2x + x2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.25 = -0.25
-2x + x2 = -0.25

The x term is -2x.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.
