-10 + 25p + -4p2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
2.5 + -6.25p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation.
2.5 + -6.25p + -2.5 + p2 = 0 + -2.5

Reorder the terms:
2.5 + -2.5 + -6.25p + p2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -6.25p + p2 = 0 + -2.5
-6.25p + p2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.5 = -2.5
-6.25p + p2 = -2.5

The p term is -6.25p.  Take half its coefficient (-3.125).
