Solving for variable 's'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 3s + 6 + s2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 3s + s2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 3s + s2 = 0 + 6
3s + s2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
3s + s2 = 6

The s term is 3s.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3s + 2.25 + s2 = 6 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3s + s2 = 6 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 6 + 2.25 = 8.25
2.25 + 3s + s2 = 8.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(s + 1.5)(s + 1.5) = 8.25
