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

Divide each side by '-8'.
-0.25 + -0.125s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + -0.125s + 0.25 + s2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + -0.125s + s2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.125s + s2 = 0 + 0.25
-0.125s + s2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
-0.125s + s2 = 0.25

The s term is s.  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.
-0.125s + 0.25 + s2 = 0.25 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.125s + s2 = 0.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.5
0.25 + -0.125s + s2 = 0.5

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