8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.125 + -1x2 + x4 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.125' to each side of the equation.
-0.125 + -1x2 + 0.125 + x4 = 0 + 0.125

Reorder the terms:
-0.125 + 0.125 + -1x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.125

Combine like terms: -0.125 + 0.125 = 0.000
0.000 + -1x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.125
-1x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.125

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.125 = 0.125
-1x2 + x4 = 0.125

The x term is -1x2.  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.
-1x2 + 0.25 + x4 = 0.125 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x2 + x4 = 0.125 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.125 + 0.25 = 0.375
0.25 + -1x2 + x4 = 0.375
