Divide each side by '4'.
-3.75 + 0.75s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.75' to each side of the equation.
-3.75 + 0.75s + 3.75 + s2 = 0 + 3.75

Reorder the terms:
-3.75 + 3.75 + 0.75s + s2 = 0 + 3.75

Combine like terms: -3.75 + 3.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.75s + s2 = 0 + 3.75
0.75s + s2 = 0 + 3.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.75 = 3.75
0.75s + s2 = 3.75

The s term is 0.75s.  Take half its coefficient (0.375).
Square it (0.140625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.140625' to each side of the equation.
0.75s + 0.140625 + s2 = 3.75 + 0.140625

Reorder the terms:
0.140625 + 0.75s + s2 = 3.75 + 0.140625

Combine like terms: 3.75 + 0.140625 = 3.890625
0.140625 + 0.75s + s2 = 3.890625
