Solving for variable 's'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-1.5 + 5s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + 5s + 1.5 + s2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + 5s + s2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 5s + s2 = 0 + 1.5
5s + s2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
5s + s2 = 1.5

The s term is 5s.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5s + 6.25 + s2 = 1.5 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5s + s2 = 1.5 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 6.25 = 7.75
6.25 + 5s + s2 = 7.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(s + 2.5)(s + 2.5) = 7.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.783882181

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(s + 2.5) equal to 2.783882181 and -2.783882181.
