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 + -4.5s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -4.5s + -1 + s2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + -4.5s + s2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -4.5s + s2 = 0 + -1
-4.5s + s2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-4.5s + s2 = -1

The s term is -4.5s.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5s + 5.0625 + s2 = -1 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5s + s2 = -1 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: -1 + 5.0625 = 4.0625
5.0625 + -4.5s + s2 = 4.0625
