Typically, that form IS already simplified. If you really mean factor the left member, then you might try forming the binomial factors which work:

(5s )(s ) using positive values of 6 and 1 or 2 and 3.
(5s+2)(s+3), (5s+3)(s+2), (5s+1)(s+6), (5s+6)(s+1).
Exactly one of those may work.

If not factorable, then are you really asking how to put into standard form, through Completing the Square? Learn to do this using the lesson: Using Completing the Square to Solve General Quadratic Equation - includes showing putting into standard form.
