-2 + 5s2 = -1s

Solving for variable 's'.

Reorder the terms:
-2 + s + 5s2 = -1s + s

Combine like terms: -1s + s = 0
-2 + s + 5s2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.4 + 0.2s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + 0.2s + 0.4 + s2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + 0.2s + s2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.2s + s2 = 0 + 0.4
0.2s + s2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
0.2s + s2 = 0.4

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.
0.2s + 0.25 + s2 = 0.4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.2s + s2 = 0.4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 0.25 = 0.65
0.25 + 0.2s + s2 = 0.65

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(s + 0.5)(s + 0.5) = 0.65

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.806225775

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(s + 0.5) equal to 0.806225775 and -0.806225775.

Subproblem 1

s + 0.5 = 0.806225775 Simplifying s + 0.5 = 0.806225775 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + s = 0.806225775 Solving 0.5 + s = 0.806225775 Solving for variable 's'. Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + s = 0.806225775 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + s = 0.806225775 + -0.5 s = 0.806225775 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.806225775 + -0.5 = 0.306225775 s = 0.306225775 Simplifying s = 0.306225775

Subproblem 2

s + 0.5 = -0.806225775 Simplifying s + 0.5 = -0.806225775 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + s = -0.806225775 Solving 0.5 + s = -0.806225775 Solving for variable 's'. Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + s = -0.806225775 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + s = -0.806225775 + -0.5 s = -0.806225775 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -0.806225775 + -0.5 = -1.306225775 s = -1.306225775 Simplifying s = -1.306225775

Solution
