8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '8'.
0.375 + 2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.375' to each side of the equation.
0.375 + 2.5x + -0.375 + x2 = 0 + -0.375

Reorder the terms:
0.375 + -0.375 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.375

Combine like terms: 0.375 + -0.375 = 0.000
0.000 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.375
2.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.375

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.375 = -0.375
2.5x + x2 = -0.375

The x term is 2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = -0.375 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5x + x2 = -0.375 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: -0.375 + 1.5625 = 1.1875
1.5625 + 2.5x + x2 = 1.1875
