Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
2.5 + -4.5p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation.
2.5 + -4.5p + -2.5 + p2 = 0 + -2.5

Reorder the terms:
2.5 + -2.5 + -4.5p + p2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4.5p + p2 = 0 + -2.5
-4.5p + p2 = 0 + -2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.5 = -2.5
-4.5p + p2 = -2.5

The p term is -4.5p.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5p + 5.0625 + p2 = -2.5 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5p + p2 = -2.5 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 5.0625 = 2.5625
5.0625 + -4.5p + p2 = 2.5625
