4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.25 + -0.75s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.25' to each side of the equation.
-1.25 + -0.75s + 1.25 + s2 = 0 + 1.25

Reorder the terms:
-1.25 + 1.25 + -0.75s + s2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.75s + s2 = 0 + 1.25
-0.75s + s2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.25 = 1.25
-0.75s + s2 = 1.25

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 = 1.25 + 0.140625

Reorder the terms:
0.140625 + -0.75s + s2 = 1.25 + 0.140625

Combine like terms: 1.25 + 0.140625 = 1.390625
0.140625 + -0.75s + s2 = 1.390625
