Solving for variable 's'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-25 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-25'.
-0.16 + 0.8s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
-0.16 + 0.8s + 0.16 + s2 = 0 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
-0.16 + 0.16 + 0.8s + s2 = 0 + 0.16

Combine like terms: -0.16 + 0.16 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.8s + s2 = 0 + 0.16
0.8s + s2 = 0 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.16 = 0.16
0.8s + s2 = 0.16

The s term is 0.8s.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.8s + 0.16 + s2 = 0.16 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8s + s2 = 0.16 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0.16 + 0.16 = 0.32
0.16 + 0.8s + s2 = 0.32

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(s + 0.4)(s + 0.4) = 0.32

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.565685425

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(s + 0.4) equal to 0.565685425 and -0.565685425.

Subproblem 1

s + 0.4 = 0.565685425 Simplifying s + 0.4 = 0.565685425 Reorder the terms: 0.4 + s = 0.565685425 Solving 0.4 + s = 0.565685425 Solving for variable 's'. Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation. 0.4 + -0.4 + s = 0.565685425 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + s = 0.565685425 + -0.4 s = 0.565685425 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.565685425 + -0.4 = 0.165685425 s = 0.165685425 Simplifying s = 0.165685425

Subproblem 2

s + 0.4 = -0.565685425 Simplifying s + 0.4 = -0.565685425 Reorder the terms: 0.4 + s = -0.565685425 Solving 0.4 + s = -0.565685425 Solving for variable 's'. Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation. 0.4 + -0.4 + s = -0.565685425 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + s = -0.565685425 + -0.4 s = -0.565685425 + -0.4 Combine like terms: -0.565685425 + -0.4 = -0.965685425 s = -0.965685425 Simplifying s = -0.965685425

Solution
