8 + 5x + -2x2 = -4x + 4x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -4x + 4x = 0
8 + 5x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
8 + 5x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
8 + 5x + -2x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-4 + -2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -2.5x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 4
-2.5x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-2.5x + x2 = 4

The x term is -2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = 4 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = 4 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 4 + 1.5625 = 5.5625
1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = 5.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.25)(x + -1.25) = 5.5625
