Solving for variable 'p'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-1.5 + 5p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + 5p + 1.5 + p2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + 5p + p2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 5p + p2 = 0 + 1.5
5p + p2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
5p + p2 = 1.5

The p term is 5p.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5p + 6.25 + p2 = 1.5 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5p + p2 = 1.5 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 6.25 = 7.75
6.25 + 5p + p2 = 7.75
