4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.5 + -1.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -1.25x + 0.5 + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -1.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.5
-1.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-1.25x + x2 = 0.5

The x term is -1.25x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.625).
Square it (0.390625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.390625' to each side of the equation.
-1.25x + 0.390625 + x2 = 0.5 + 0.390625
