Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '18' to each side of the equation.
-18 + -1s + 18 + s2 = 0 + 18

Reorder the terms:
-18 + 18 + -1s + s2 = 0 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0
0 + -1s + s2 = 0 + 18
-1s + s2 = 0 + 18

Combine like terms: 0 + 18 = 18
-1s + s2 = 18

The s term is -1s.  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.
-1s + 0.25 + s2 = 18 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1s + s2 = 18 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 18 + 0.25 = 18.25
0.25 + -1s + s2 = 18.25
