Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + 1.5p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 1.5p + 0.5 + p2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 1.5p + p2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.5p + p2 = 0 + 0.5
1.5p + p2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
1.5p + p2 = 0.5

The p term is 1.5p.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5p + 0.5625 + p2 = 0.5 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5p + p2 = 0.5 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 0.5625 = 1.0625
0.5625 + 1.5p + p2 = 1.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + 0.75)(p + 0.75) = 1.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.030776406

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(p + 0.75) equal to 1.030776406 and -1.030776406.

Subproblem 1

p + 0.75 = 1.030776406 Simplifying p + 0.75 = 1.030776406 Reorder the terms: 0.75 + p = 1.030776406 Solving 0.75 + p = 1.030776406 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.75' to each side of the equation. 0.75 + -0.75 + p = 1.030776406 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 0.75 + -0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + p = 1.030776406 + -0.75 p = 1.030776406 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 1.030776406 + -0.75 = 0.280776406 p = 0.280776406 Simplifying p = 0.280776406

Subproblem 2
