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

Divide each side by '16'.
-0.5625 + 1.5s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5625 + 1.5s + 0.5625 + s2 = 0 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
-0.5625 + 0.5625 + 1.5s + s2 = 0 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: -0.5625 + 0.5625 = 0.0000
0.0000 + 1.5s + s2 = 0 + 0.5625
1.5s + s2 = 0 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5625 = 0.5625
1.5s + s2 = 0.5625

The s term is 1.5s.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5s + 0.5625 + s2 = 0.5625 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5s + s2 = 0.5625 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 0.5625 + 0.5625 = 1.125
0.5625 + 1.5s + s2 = 1.125
