Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
11.5 + -9p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-11.5' to each side of the equation.
11.5 + -9p + -11.5 + p2 = 0 + -11.5

Reorder the terms:
11.5 + -11.5 + -9p + p2 = 0 + -11.5

Combine like terms: 11.5 + -11.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -9p + p2 = 0 + -11.5
-9p + p2 = 0 + -11.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -11.5 = -11.5
-9p + p2 = -11.5

The p term is -9p.  Take half its coefficient (-4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
-9p + 20.25 + p2 = -11.5 + 20.25

Reorder the terms:
20.25 + -9p + p2 = -11.5 + 20.25

Combine like terms: -11.5 + 20.25 = 8.75
20.25 + -9p + p2 = 8.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -4.5)(p + -4.5) = 8.75
