0 + 0.5s + s2 = 0 + 15
0.5s + s2 = 0 + 15

Combine like terms: 0 + 15 = 15
0.5s + s2 = 15

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.
0.5s + 0.25 + s2 = 15 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5s + s2 = 15 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 15 + 0.25 = 15.25
0.25 + 0.5s + s2 = 15.25
