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 + 7p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + 7p + 1.5 + p2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + 7p + p2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 7p + p2 = 0 + 1.5
7p + p2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
7p + p2 = 1.5

The p term is 7p.  Take half its coefficient (3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
7p + 12.25 + p2 = 1.5 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7p + p2 = 1.5 + 12.25

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 12.25 = 13.75
12.25 + 7p + p2 = 13.75
