Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
5.75 + -5p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5.75' to each side of the equation.
5.75 + -5p + -5.75 + p2 = 0 + -5.75

Reorder the terms:
5.75 + -5.75 + -5p + p2 = 0 + -5.75

Combine like terms: 5.75 + -5.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -5p + p2 = 0 + -5.75
-5p + p2 = 0 + -5.75

Combine like terms: 0 + -5.75 = -5.75
-5p + p2 = -5.75

The p term is -5p.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5p + 6.25 + p2 = -5.75 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5p + p2 = -5.75 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -5.75 + 6.25 = 0.5
6.25 + -5p + p2 = 0.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -2.5)(p + -2.5) = 0.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.707106781
