Divide each side by '8'.
0.25 + -1.125s + s2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + -1.125s + -0.25 + s2 = 0 + -0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25 + -1.125s + s2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.125s + s2 = 0 + -0.25
-1.125s + s2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.25 = -0.25
-1.125s + s2 = -0.25

The s term is -1.125s.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5625).
Square it (0.31640625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.31640625' to each side of the equation.
-1.125s + 0.31640625 + s2 = -0.25 + 0.31640625
