Solution for s^2=-48-2s equation:

Simplifying
s2 = -48 + -2s

Solving
s2 = -48 + -2s

Solving for variable 's'.

Reorder the terms:
48 + 2s + s2 = -48 + -2s + 48 + 2s

Reorder the terms:
48 + 2s + s2 = -48 + 48 + -2s + 2s

Combine like terms: -48 + 48 = 0
48 + 2s + s2 = 0 + -2s + 2s
48 + 2s + s2 = -2s + 2s

Combine like terms: -2s + 2s = 0
48 + 2s + s2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-48' to each side of the equation.
48 + 2s + -48 + s2 = 0 + -48

Reorder the terms:
48 + -48 + 2s + s2 = 0 + -48

Combine like terms: 48 + -48 = 0
0 + 2s + s2 = 0 + -48
2s + s2 = 0 + -48

Combine like terms: 0 + -48 = -48
2s + s2 = -48

The s term is 2s.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2s + 1 + s2 = -48 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2s + s2 = -48 + 1

Combine like terms: -48 + 1 = -47
1 + 2s + s2 = -47

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(s + 1)(s + 1) = -47

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
