Solving
0 = 12 + -1p + p2

Solving for variable 'p'.

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
-12 + p + -1p2 = 12 + -1p + p2 + -12 + p + -1p2

Reorder the terms:
-12 + p + -1p2 = 12 + -12 + -1p + p + p2 + -1p2

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
-12 + p + -1p2 = 0 + -1p + p + p2 + -1p2
-12 + p + -1p2 = -1p + p + p2 + -1p2

Combine like terms: -1p + p = 0
-12 + p + -1p2 = 0 + p2 + -1p2
-12 + p + -1p2 = p2 + -1p2

Combine like terms: p2 + -1p2 = 0
-12 + p + -1p2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
12 + -1p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -1p + -12 + p2 = 0 + -12

Reorder the terms:
12 + -12 + -1p + p2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + -1p + p2 = 0 + -12
-1p + p2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
-1p + p2 = -12

The p term is p.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1p + 0.25 + p2 = -12 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1p + p2 = -12 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -12 + 0.25 = -11.75
0.25 + -1p + p2 = -11.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + 0.5)(p + 0.5) = -11.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
