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

Divide each side by '8'.
-10.125 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10.125' to each side of the equation.
-10.125 + 0.5x + 10.125 + x2 = 0 + 10.125

Reorder the terms:
-10.125 + 10.125 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 10.125

Combine like terms: -10.125 + 10.125 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 10.125
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 10.125

Combine like terms: 0 + 10.125 = 10.125
0.5x + x2 = 10.125

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 10.125 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 10.125 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 10.125 + 0.0625 = 10.1875
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 10.1875

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 10.1875

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.191786334

Subproblem 1
x + 0.25 = 3.191786334

Simplifying
x + 0.25 = 3.191786334

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x = 3.191786334

Solving
0.25 + x = 3.191786334

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + -0.25 + x = 3.191786334 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + x = 3.191786334 + -0.25
x = 3.191786334 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 3.191786334 + -0.25 = 2.941786334
x = 2.941786334

Simplifying
x = 2.941786334

Subproblem 2
x + 0.25 = -3.191786334

Simplifying
x + 0.25 = -3.191786334

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x = -3.191786334

Solving
0.25 + x = -3.191786334

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + -0.25 + x = -3.191786334 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + x = -3.191786334 + -0.25
x = -3.191786334 + -0.25
