Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
6.5 + -7p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-6.5' to each side of the equation.
6.5 + -7p + -6.5 + p2 = 0 + -6.5

Reorder the terms:
6.5 + -6.5 + -7p + p2 = 0 + -6.5

Combine like terms: 6.5 + -6.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -7p + p2 = 0 + -6.5
-7p + p2 = 0 + -6.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -6.5 = -6.5
-7p + p2 = -6.5

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