8 + -1x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

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

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + x + 8 + x2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + x + x2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + x + x2 = 0 + 8
x + x2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8
x + x2 = 8

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.
 + 0.25 + x2 = 8 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + x2 = 8 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 8 + 0.25 = 8.25
1.25 + x2 = 8.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 8.25
