Divide each side by '8'.
0.125 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.125' to each side of the equation.
0.125 + 0.5x + -0.125 + x2 = 0 + -0.125

Reorder the terms:
0.125 + -0.125 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.125

Combine like terms: 0.125 + -0.125 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.125
0.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.125

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.125 = -0.125
0.5x + x2 = -0.125

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
