5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-16 + -9.6s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + -9.6s + 16 + s2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + -9.6s + s2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + -9.6s + s2 = 0 + 16
-9.6s + s2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
-9.6s + s2 = 16

The s term is -9.6s.  Take half its coefficient (-4.8).
Square it (23.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '23.04' to each side of the equation.
-9.6s + 23.04 + s2 = 16 + 23.04

Reorder the terms:
23.04 + -9.6s + s2 = 16 + 23.04

Combine like terms: 16 + 23.04 = 39.04
23.04 + -9.6s + s2 = 39.04
