Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.25 + -1.5p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.25' to each side of the equation.
-1.25 + -1.5p + 1.25 + p2 = 0 + 1.25

Reorder the terms:
-1.25 + 1.25 + -1.5p + p2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.5p + p2 = 0 + 1.25
-1.5p + p2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.25 = 1.25
-1.5p + p2 = 1.25

The p term is -1.5p.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-1.5p + 0.5625 + p2 = 1.25 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5p + p2 = 1.25 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 1.25 + 0.5625 = 1.8125
0.5625 + -1.5p + p2 = 1.8125
