Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
3 + 0.125x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + 0.125x + -3 + x2 = 0 + -3

Reorder the terms:
3 + -3 + 0.125x + x2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + 0.125x + x2 = 0 + -3
0.125x + x2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
0.125x + x2 = -3

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.125x + 0.25 + x2 = -3 + 0.25
