Answer

$$x∈[-2, 0.25]$$ Also see the image below.

Work Step by Step

$0.5x^2+0.875x\leq 0.25$ For a better visualization, we will align the inequality to form two separate equations. $0.5x^2\leq -0.875x+0.25$ $0.5x^2$ is represented as the Blue graph on the image above. $-0.875x+0.25$ is the Red graph on the image above. As we can see, they intersect at points $A$ and $B$. Solution lays between them, in the region $[-2, 0.25]$
