Solving for variable 's'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
1.25 + -2.5s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation.
1.25 + -2.5s + -1.25 + s2 = 0 + -1.25

Reorder the terms:
1.25 + -1.25 + -2.5s + s2 = 0 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -2.5s + s2 = 0 + -1.25
-2.5s + s2 = 0 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.25 = -1.25
-2.5s + s2 = -1.25

The s term is -2.5s.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5s + 1.5625 + s2 = -1.25 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5s + s2 = -1.25 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.5625 = 0.3125
1.5625 + -2.5s + s2 = 0.3125

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(s + -1.25)(s + -1.25) = 0.3125
