Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-10.5 + 3p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10.5' to each side of the equation.
-10.5 + 3p + 10.5 + p2 = 0 + 10.5

Reorder the terms:
-10.5 + 10.5 + 3p + p2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3p + p2 = 0 + 10.5
3p + p2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 10.5 = 10.5
3p + p2 = 10.5

The p term is 3p.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3p + 2.25 + p2 = 10.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3p + p2 = 10.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 10.5 + 2.25 = 12.75
2.25 + 3p + p2 = 12.75
