Is this the equation you need to solve?

+ - = .

If so,  then introduce new variable  x = .  Then your equation takes the form

+ - = .

It is a quadratic equation.  Solve it using the quadratic formula:

= = = = .

= = .

= = .

Next,  solve two equations

=   and    =  to get solutions for  s.

Introducing new variable is the standard method for solving non-linear equations like this.
