8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '8'.
0.625 + 2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.625' to each side of the equation.
0.625 + 2x + -0.625 + x2 = 0 + -0.625

Reorder the terms:
0.625 + -0.625 + 2x + x2 = 0 + -0.625

Combine like terms: 0.625 + -0.625 = 0.000
0.000 + 2x + x2 = 0 + -0.625
2x + x2 = 0 + -0.625
