Solving for variable 'P'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-5 + -1.6P + P2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + -1.6P + 5 + P2 = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 5 + -1.6P + P2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -1.6P + P2 = 0 + 5
-1.6P + P2 = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-1.6P + P2 = 5

The P term is -1.6P.  Take half its coefficient (-0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
-1.6P + 0.64 + P2 = 5 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + -1.6P + P2 = 5 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 5 + 0.64 = 5.64
0.64 + -1.6P + P2 = 5.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(P + -0.8)(P + -0.8) = 5.64

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.374868417
