Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
0.875 + -2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.875' to each side of the equation.
0.875 + -2x + -0.875 + x2 = 0 + -0.875

Reorder the terms:
0.875 + -0.875 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -0.875

Combine like terms: 0.875 + -0.875 = 0.000
0.000 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -0.875
-2x + x2 = 0 + -0.875
