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 + -3p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -3p + -0.5 + p2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -3p + p2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3p + p2 = 0 + -0.5
-3p + p2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-3p + p2 = -0.5

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 = -0.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + -3p + p2 = -0.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 2.25 = 1.75
2.25 + -3p + p2 = 1.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -1.5)(p + -1.5) = 1.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.322875656

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(p + -1.5) equal to 1.322875656 and -1.322875656.

Subproblem 1
p + -1.5 = 1.322875656

Simplifying
p + -1.5 = 1.322875656

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + p = 1.322875656

Solving
-1.5 + p = 1.322875656

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + 1.5 + p = 1.322875656 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + p = 1.322875656 + 1.5
p = 1.322875656 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 1.322875656 + 1.5 = 2.822875656
p = 2.822875656

Simplifying
p = 2.822875656

Subproblem 2
p + -1.5 = -1.322875656

Simplifying
p + -1.5 = -1.322875656

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + p = -1.322875656

Solving
-1.5 + p = -1.322875656

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + 1.5 + p = -1.322875656 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + p = -1.322875656 + 1.5
p = -1.322875656 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.322875656 + 1.5 = 0.177124344
p = 0.177124344

Simplifying
p = 0.177124344
